Jo Vane new work
The T5 Gallery is pleased to be displaying a new sculpture by Jo Vane.
This is Jo’s largest and most ambitious sculpture to date. ‘Curved Form’ continues her exploration of organic forms inspired by marine and coastal environments.
The richly lacquered inner surface and contrasting verdigris outer patina invite the viewer to explore the sculpture from multiple angles. The form evokes a curled up leaf or perhaps an otherworldly sea creature.
Nikki Taylor new sculpture
The T5 Gallery is very pleased to be displaying a new sculpture by Nikki Taylor from April.
“Nikki is best known for her sensuous figure sculptures in wire mesh, combining traditional sculpture skills with her own unique processes to create diaphanous but deceptively robust figures.
Nikki’s choice of wire mesh as a medium is to transcend the solidity of conventional materials and attempt to represent the duality of our bodies. Her works have an almost ephemeral quality, enhanced by the illusion of complete weightlessness achieved with their suspension.”
Will Rochfort new painting
The T5 Gallery is pleased to present Will Rochfort’s latest large scale painting which pays homage to the Apollo 11 launch:
“With all my paintings I try to avoid the obvious and it was no different with this piece. I have a great interest in the space race and in what an incredible achievement it was to put a man on the moon, especially at that time in history. So I knew I wanted to do a painting of it but I had no interest in painting the rocket itself.
After a few different attempts I settled on this version that focuses on the people watching the launch. I’ve painted a number of group scenes but I loved this one for it’s mix of men, women and children, and for the 1969 colours.
There are subtle hints throughout the picture that tell the story but it was mostly important to me that it puts you right in there with the crowd bearing witness this historic event.”
