SEMINAR FOR ARTISTS
Engaging with:
The Body
Thursday 17 July 2008
The human figure has been a central focus in artistic cultures throughout history. The urge to record, invent, and manipulate the human image continues to captivate.
Figurative art, though relatively simple as an isolated concept, has taken on a multitude of different forms throughout history and has been interpreted in countless different ways. When photography brought dry portraiture to an end and modern abstraction pushed the limits of expression, this genre of painting began to incorporate more interpretive, individualistic approaches to representation.
In essence the term refers to real figure-based representation but the presence of a figure is often the only element that figurative paintings have in common with each other. There are virtually no limitations on a figurative painting’s visual possibilities; it has only to succeed in presenting a universally readable image.
Using the works in the accompanying exhibition as a starting point, Engaging with: The Body, the second event in the Artwork + Discourse programme, will offer a series of presentations, discussions and practical involvement in the exploration of approaches to the human form.
Speakers include: JO VOLLEY - Artist and Senior lecturer, Slade School of Fine Art, NATALIE DOWSE - Artist, JULIANA CERQUEIRA LIETE - Sculptor and tutor, SUE PRESTON - Artist and tutor, Rabley Contemporary Drawing Centre
The day is aimed at professional artists from ALL disciplines.
