EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY PAINTING AT THE COTERIE GALLERY, HIGH GREEN, SHEFFIELD S35 3HY FRIDAY 1st JUNE to FRIDAY 29th JUNE 2012
This exhibition is a celebration of contemporary painting. It highlights the great breadth of painting, from abstract to figurative, from subtle watercolour to gestural oil painting, from cool and conceptual to expressive and experimental. Even within the terms ‘abstract’ and ‘figurative’ lie many more interesting variations. ‘Pure Joy’ features both hard-edged abstraction and the more gestural and experimental; for viewers keen on figuration there is portraiture, landscape work, and a number of interesting stops in between. ‘Pure Joy’ represents an excellent opportunity to see the work of 17 professional artists, each of whom has a strong connection with Sheffield.
