| Introduction | Esoteric Illusions is the work of 9 local artists, who aim to create a space where diverse practices come together to create something which cannot be defined by medium or the individual artist's intention. When exhibited together, the works create a dialogue and take on new meanings in the momentary context. The exhibition explores work from print makers, textile artists to ceramicists and multi media artists. In the simplest of terms ’Esoteric illusions’ highlights the irony and illusion of the ‘exclusive pretention’ of modern art, which is actually enjoyed by the masses. In promoting ideas of blurred lines between practices, the title allows the exhibitors to let their ideas absorb their work without restrictions of a themed exhibition. Though each artists work is individually created and stands alone, when viewed as part of the show, curated in the beautiful location of the Walcott Chapel, they are complimentary and allow further meanings and implications to spring forth. The exhibition shall take place between the 4th and 10th April 2010 at The Walcott Chapel, Bath. |
| Interests | ‘My own view on the esoteric element to art for what it`s worth, is that it has the power to bring together like minded people in a positive manner, although like a lot of artists I work in isolation, I am always reminded of the artists of the past, as if there is an invisible thread through history which is reminding me that I do it to connect to those artists, and to future generations of artists who continue the search for what it is that brings us together.’ Mark Demsteader, contemporary figurative artist exhibiting at The White Room Gallery. |
