Solitudes and Seasons

Fri 4 January 2019 - Fri 8 February 2019

The British tradition of observing landscapes in the arts is so widespread as to be better described as an obsession. Like all obsessions, a sense of darkness is easily intuited and embedded into the very grain of representations, whether they be rural, liminal or urban. Instead of considering the popular and linear narrative of British arts as a continuous tradition of romantic pastoralism finding a pure, unquestioning sense of the land, a darker counter-tradition is now perceivable; one that is still active in the production of work and necessary in its addressing the continuing issues that prevail within the landscapes of England in particular.
