An exhibition of paintings by Jo Nolan and Michael Davis

Can we see the air we breathe? That which buoys us is often invisible, silent, evident only by continuity or deprivation.

Through his painting practice, Michael Davis taps the psyche of the landscape, making visible, the inconspicuous elements of nature that sustain life. Harnessing ancient molecules of light and oxygen and giving visibility to the physical sensations of being in the world, Michael questions our present and future relationship with the elements.

Jo Nolan’s abstract paintings emerge through the quiet processes of painting itself. Reaching for poetic complexity through slow layering of pigments, harnessing light and shadow, noise and stillness, her works lend visibility to the moods and drama of human existence. She makes ritual observations in the solitude of the half-light and reflects upon the ancient rhythms of the earth, in the shadow of which, the entanglements of human culture occur. Through painting she aims to feel beneath the surface of what is perceived, towards that which is less fathomable or explicable about the tragedies and ecstasies of life.

Things fundamental and significant to the human spirit can only be experienced not expressed. The rest is always and everywhere silence, said Aldous Huxley. After the silence, inexpressible truths find form through art and music.

Forgotten rites and attempted liturgies. Burning, tearing, pourimg, weathering…The intimacy of shadows; the restless touch of decay…
