‘Featuring the work of four contemporary artists –
Ben Westley Clarke, Oliver Dorrell, Joana Galego, and Paul Newman,
the exhibition ‘Reflections’ is a selection of painterly reveries as intimate and mystical portraits of desire and despair. Here in this collection of pictures, we find pastoral interludes under the veil of the mystical, as well as post-apocalyptic and stark scenes of the ordinary rendered in neo-Expressionist and Surrealist form. The artists’ sources are many: contemporary environmental and socio-political crises, city scenes, historic British painting, fifteenth century Indian verse, the work of Arthur Rimbaud, the enduring theme of the journey, the inheritance of Spanish painting as well as the more intimate and autobiographical.’
