They Lived a Colourful Life

This was the first of the level 4 student exhibitions and so was the starting point in the development of the exhibitions. This group decided to focus mainly the idea of portraiture, using a number of realistic paintings displayed on easels around the exhibition.  Along side this was mainly wall based work along with the large stringed cube that proved popular within many of the exhibitions. The advertisement links very will to both the content and title of the exhibition as it uses a piece of work that was used in the show. The flyer gives the basic information which is the developed upon in the press release also seen below. The press release contrary to our own focused on information about each of the individual artists and their work, this gave the viewer a good background into the artists whilst viewing the exhibition. I like the logo that they have designed in order to describe their group. I think this exhibition worked well as a whole, the majority of the art worked linked really well together especially the portraiture paintings. The curators described their exhibition in the following words: 
Explore the relationship and contrast between the viewer & the viewed, inner & outer, portrait & abstract, colour & monochrome, the hidden & the exposed and 2D & 3D.

The audience is invited to consider - who is observing who?
