This Exhibition highlights the work of four of the artists who took part in the online art sessions during the Covid 19 lockdown.
THE LOCKDOWN ART SESSIONS
Each artist has been creating their own work for some time but when the Covid 19 pandemic forced them into isolation they decided to meet up online once a month and create pieces of work created on a pre-arranged theme. They digitally exchanged and viewed work using Zoom.
At the same time each artist continued to develop and extend their existing interests and creative practice. This togetherness through “doing” projects, helped counterbalance the isolation of that period.
The support and experience of the group activity often encouraged the artists to experiment in new directions. The work created is sometimes playful, sometimes serious, sometimes unfinished, each session had a time limit of three hours, often wildly different from individual practices.
All the artists agree that ” The support and experience of our group activity has encouraged us to continue working together to jointly create this exhibition.”
The Exhibition features work from each artists normal practice and work created during each three hour online session.
