About A Rose is a Rose...
“...reflecting on anthropocentric factors, our culpability for environmental imbalance and our ever-readiness to believe that we are in control.”
Angela Eames is a pioneering artist/drawer engaged at the intersection of digital imaging, artificial intelligence and creative practice. She lives in East Sussex. In this exhibition Eames harnesses AI to push the boundaries of drawing, with an innovative survey of botanical specimens to produce both human generated and AI assisted works. Eames finds unusual ways of demystifying, mapping and subverting technology whilst searching for poetic revelation within the potential successes and failures of digital systems. Here, eighteen small-scale archival giclée prints, from her MONSTERA DELICIOSA series are hung as pairs of Human-generated flower heads which have been digitally remastered as AI-generated oddities or monstrosities. In calling attention to both negative and positive potential and prospects, these works challenge the developers of digital systems and electronic spaces, questioning both their purpose and their goals, and essentially asking whether we as artists can reclaim these technologies to build our own digital arena.
Clare Crines is an artist, painter, drawer, jeweller and teacher of botanical illustration. She lives in her hometown of Glasgow. In this exhibition she shows a recent series of paintings (oil on canvas) where she has focused the rose. In a series of square canvasses she explores the delicacy and volumetric properties of this well-known bloom through painterly conventions of shape, colour, light and composition. A far cry from the constraints of her more traditional botanical illustration pursuits, Crines lets rip with delicate but vibrant colour and explosive painterly composition. Throughout her painting career, Crines has repeatedly returned to the subject of flowers, either as still lifes or as elements in larger works. These paintings captivate the viewer with their balance between harmony of colour and freedom of composition. As an ode to flora and in particular the rose, they convey the strength and perfection of nature in its wild and untamed state.
