Looking
Beyond
The
student art exhibition, ‘Looking Beyond’, takes a peek into how conventions created
by society can mislead us to see object and people in another light. ‘Looking
Beyond’ focuses on how we view aspects of our lives, such as the comfort of
childhood or the ideas of what we should be that get drilled into our heads.
The
project uses the atmosphere from the lack of lighting to create an uneasy and
claustrophobic sense with the few torches guiding the gallery viewers towards
the pieces.
The
exhibition features work from Daniel Alvarez and Calum McClue, who have used a
wide range of different medias to explore these themes. The work includes a set
of Renaissance inspired oil paints with an uncomfortable appearance and a
series of mix media pieces looking into a darker side to childhood.
Daniel
and Calum are currently going to sixth form at Cheney School. Daniel is
currently studying Fine Art, English Literature, Philosophy and Ethics, and Classic
Civilisation. His current pathway is perceptions of power. Calum is
currently studying Fine Art, Psychology, English literature and Classic
Civilisation. His current pathway is isolation.
The
event takes place at after school L14 over the 14th to the
15th of April.
