Exhibits,

Storm Gold and Irene Hanenbergh Feldspar

Opening: Wednesday 29 November, 6–8pm Dates: 29 November — 23 December, 2017

United through a long standing shared interest in antiquity, the baroque period and 18th and 19th century art, Irene Hanenbergh and Storm Gold present an exhibition of paintings and objects that have developed from regular conversations about process and influence. These conversations usually involve a discussion of a particular artist or artwork, subsequently an interpretive piece is made that is a response to the discussion. Utilising Gallery 4, Hanenbergh and Gold have combined elements from a range of recent collaborative work to realise one composition.
