This intimate mixed show will feature work from 23 resident & the guest artists of Harrington Mill Studio in UK and reveal an insight into their varying art practices.
Since Plato’s cave the metaphoric possibilities of darkness and light have long been inspirational for artists, filmmakers and writers. Darkness can assume mantel of death, fear, evil, the unknown, the unexplained … Light by contrast can allude to goodness, optimism, warmth, understanding, elation, security …
Counter to this, as Foucault points out, the transparency of light can control, reveal, expose, investigate … Darkness on the other hand can offer refuge, comfort, secrecy, rest.
The Darkness of Light, curated by Sookyoung Huh, draws together the work of twenty three artists who have interpreted these anomalies, contrasts and contradictions using a range of media including painting, drawing, photography.
