HUBnub Gallery presents ‘Post Normality Reality Disorder’, the debut solo show of figurative painter, Jamie Gallagher.
This collection of heavily textural impasto works explores the psychological effects on humanity of the current extremes of social, political and cultural disruption.
Painted predominantly in oils, Jamie’s work explores the concept of ‘identity’, as individuals are forced to experience extremes of psychological and emotional challenge. Shifting uncomfortably from sensitive to brutal, his work finds beauty in life’s more visceral themes.
The raw physicality of painting and a deep connection with the materials and tactility of the process feed the work. From the heavy impasto oils and raw, textured linens to the delicate gold leaf and bleeding inks, each mark is instinctive, each image forged during the process, rather than conceived of in advance.
Jamie Gallagher is a figurative painter, living and working in Somerset.
10% of gallery sales of this show will be go to We Hear You, the local cancer counselling charity.
All welcome to the private view on Friday 25th January from 6.30pm until 8.30pm. RSVP info@hubnubcentre.com
The exhibition then runs from 26th January until 24th March.
