Social Morphologies
Preview Night 3rd March EVERYONE WELCOME!!
Exhibition dates are 5th March - 30th March
Roberto Matta’s series of work ‘Social Morphologies’ seems to harness the true identity of Abstract Expressionism. He pitted amorphous spaces with architectural planes, which reverberated with tension by the violently opposing forms. Matta’s automatist art-making technique was influential to young New York Art School artists such as Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky and Robert Motherwell throughout the early 1940’s. These young artists often met with Matta to learn more of the Surrealist techniques to develop their own paintings.
This exhibition will have an essay to accompany the work on show by artists who are influenced by surrealist techniques of automatism in an attempt to create work of abstraction and expressionism. The essay will discuss the source of abstract Expressionism and the direction it has taken into art of today.

This exhibition will celebrate a triumphant year of exhibiting art at the gallery by awarding one artist ‘Contemporary Art for Christmas award 2011’.
