To coincide with Plymouth Art Weekender @plymartwkndr , (18/10-20/10), I will be showing work alongside Stuart J Young & Eila Goldhahn in their beautiful, domestic gallery setting.

‘Tenuis’

18/10-20/10, 11-5pm & then until 08/11 by appointment
6 Lipson Terrace, Plymouth, PL4 7PR

‘Tenuis’ features work by Stuart J Young, Eila Goldhahn, and Jamie Mills. The exhibition traverses drawing, sculpture, artefact, and moving image to share a common voice in the exploration of gesture, material status, and ritual as a means of contemplation and transformation.

These works speak of fragility and diligence. They honour their material integrity as well as their process of creation – the innate errant journeys that exist between a quiet inner voice and an emergent materiality – in their small disruptions. As with prayer, of which, its strength exists in the activity, it is the accumulation of subtle voices – a gentle coaxing which begets transformation through the interfacing of the materials over time. – JM

The Grège Gallery is proud to present “Renaissance,” an exhibition that invites you to explore the art of transformation and the beauty of breathing new life into found materials. This exhibition brings together the works of Armando Mesías, Giorgio Petracci, Jamie Mills, Juliette Lemontey, and Laura Pasquino, who transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, inviting the public to rediscover the essence of everyday materials and rethink our connection with the world around us. “Renaissance” encourages us to transcend our perception of ordinary objects by revealing, through their metamorphosis, an unexpected splendor. The exhibition will be held from September 12 to October 26, 2024, at the gallery located at Rue Saint-Jean Népomucène 20, 1000 Brussels.
