Fine Art Exhibition - Looking Beyond

14^th - 15^th of April 2016

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 14^th to the 15^th of April.
