Red Brick Painting Manifesto - Art Exhibition - Redbrick Mill, Batley

MANIFESTO 2015
AN EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS, FOR SALE, BY THREE ACADEMY GRADUATES
APRIL 18,19,25 AND 26, 11.00am to 4.00pm PREVIEW 17 APRIL 7.00pm to 9.00pm

The Northern Art Academy, based at Redbrick Mill in Batley and run by internationally-respected artist Tom Wood, has staged a number of solo and group shows over the past eighteen months, in the impressive second floor studio.

Three of those solo exhibitors, amongst the first “graduates” of this informal academy, Sandra Cowper, Patrick Gomersall and Russell Lumb, are now intending to further raise the professional profile of the Group with a joint show at the Studio, from April 17th, titled “Manifesto 2015”, prompted by the coming General Election. There has been a number of significant, historical manifestos in the history of art; some, like this, related to political and social circumstances, but every generation, and perhaps every individual must, at some point, consider their political and artistic position and determine a way forward. In the context of the current flood of expedient political posturing, it will be fascinating to see three artists making their considered response, not least for the contributors, working in isolation.

The three painters have distinct methods, but share common influences and a deep interest in the political landscape. The exhibition title anticipates and encourages differences, but demands serious analysis and response by the artists, a testing context way beyond the comfort of open or invited general shows. Previously exhibited work by all three artists indicates considerable imagination, skill and commitment, which may enable a fresh insight into the election process, but will guarantee a stimulating show.
