Opening Hours: Mon- Sat 10am – 6pm
Barriers
Barriers is the third exhibition by Art Group 7. Using painting, drawing, digital, and mixed media, each artist has interpreted the theme of Barriers in different ways – but all investigate how personal and social barriers can alter an individual’s outlook on life, and the ability to communicate with the self and others.
The central topics which run throughout the work for this exhibition range from the imposition of technology, stresses of a busy lifestyle and mental health issues; social exclusion, nostalgia of the present and questioning structures and conventions in everyday life. Each artist aims to open up a conversation with the viewer - that on an intrinsic level - may have bearing on how we all strive to overcome barriers, no matter what they may be.
