    Deliquescence

     

    No31 is delighted to present Deliquescence, an exhibition of the work of artists Noelle Africh, Constanza Dessain and Glen Onwin RSA.

     

    The three artists showing in this exhibition put material agency at the heart of how they make, allowing their works to perform intense transformations and gradual changes. They set conditions whereby the material itself makes autonomous decisions that informs the eventual artwork, rather than the materials being cajoled into representing an image of something other.

     

    They explore the consciousness of material. These are mercurial processes where the act of making is also one of determined unmaking, or in alchemical terms ‘locking’ and ‘unlocking’. The governing principles here is that artworks are materials subject to time, and as such their states are never fixed, their evolution is ongoing.

    An exhibition of artwork by Edward Fellows, Jake Harvey RSA and Tjibbe Hooghiemstra

     

    Ed, Jake and Tjibbe share a uncomplicated relationship with their making processes and materials. Their work is both visceral, lyrical and intelligent; pared-down to a point that exposes a vulnerability and an unflinching honesty.

     

    Tjibbe Hooghiemstra (1957) has exhibited in The Netherlands and abroad on a regular basis. His work is a number of collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Teylers Museum Haarlem, Fries Museum Leeuwarden and the National Collection of Drawing, Limerick, Ireland.

     

    Born in 1948 in Kelso in the Scottish Borders, Jake Harvey RSA was Head of the School of Sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art for eleven years. He is Emeritus Professor of Sculpture University of Edinburgh and lives and works in Maxton in the Scottish Borders. 

     

    Ed Fellows (1967) has worked and exhibited in London, India, Poland, and Scotland. He has taught fine art and sculpture at BA and post graduate levels at Central Saint Martins and Byam Shaw School of Art, London. Ed is also a practicing NHS psychotherapist specialising in trauma.
