Ilam School of Fine Arts Senior Lecturer in Painting, Robin Neate, has an exhibition, ‘Ray and the Other Yesterdays’ at the Melanie Roger gallery on now until 29 July.
From the Melanie Roger Gallery, Robin Neate Profile:
“These painted abstractions act as extremely refined sketches or fragmentations of pictures. Sometimes what seems to be rendered is a mode of orientation, an atmosphere or mood: an early morning start, the unfamiliarity of an unknown street or the resignation associated with fatigue. At other times Neate captures specificities of time and place, the greyness of the built environment in a foreign city, the exact shade of a peeling wall, the angle of a sheltering roof. They are suggestive, associative… to be read as evocations or gentle reminders of time past.”
