“Colour and Other Vibrations” – Perceptions Are There To Be Challenged! by ArtMoorHouse

COLOUR AND OTHER VIBRATIONS

PERCEPTIONS ARE THERE TO BE CHALLENGED

ArtMoorHouse in collaboration with arTbridge is pleased to present Perceptions Are There To Be Challenged!, an exhibition of painting by ten international artists: Anna Boggon, Barry Melitta Nemeth - Time and Tide - Oil on canvas - 80x60 cm

Andrews, Kate Trafeli, Mada Vicassiau, Malgosia Stepnik, Melitta Nemeth, Nicole Rose, Non Worrall, Sama Mara and Lee

Westwood . Perceptions are there to be Challenged! runs at Moor House, from 10 April January to 13 June 2024.

In keeping with ArtMoorHouse’s overall curatorial theme for 2024 – “Colour and Other Vibrations” – Perceptions Are There To Be Challenged! explores the dynamic relationship between individual perception and the vibrational essence of colour and reality through the very individual perspectives of nine artists. Distinct in medium, form and style each work tells a story about the artist’s personal point of view, a conscious process of expressing the individual perception realised through a rigorous physical method and meticulous technique, experienced by the viewer in moments of quiet contemplation.

Anna Boggon’s work is investigative in its approach, often playful and at times humorous. It questions the way we see and interpret things by creating alternative and shifting perspectives. Her work is an inquiry into the territory of the real and the imaginary. It often references the past and nostalgia, but in so doing invites us to look more closely and finds a poignancy that has a direct relevance to the present. References are made to current situations in contemporary environments and to our commonly used escape routes: fiction, film, dreams, video games, social media, and music.

Barry Andrews’ work poetically raises awareness about the act of conscious observation and the vibrational essence of colour and of reality at large. Marking out his perception as if he were a conduit for information and his work the physical syntax where his sensations are communicated through the use of bold colours he establishes a connection to our most intense feelings. His ﬂuid use of rhythmic structures generates a quality of spontaneity underpinned by a precise complexity. His subverted painterly surfaces represent the harsh reality of life underpinned by tenderness and vulnerability, a reminder that there is hope, when hope is all we have.

Colour synesthesia, composition and visible brushstrokes evoke mood and narrative in Kate Trafeli's works. The fragments visible in her paintings and sculptures originate out of many avenues: personal and and external histories, magical realism and fabulist literature, music, architecture, light’s effect on the picture plane. Her practice is grounded in moments and histories from her own and others’ lives, expressed through abstraction and mark making. Kate's paintings seem familiar and yet otherworldly, with the representational components providing touchstones for the viewer while evading deﬁnite answers. The resulting ‘storypictures’ create an immersive environment, a resonance between the viewer and the work.

Mada Vicassiau is a French artist based in East London. Drawing on her formal training at the Ecole nationale supérieure d’arts de

Cergy-Paris, Mada’s work is driven by the exploration of visual elements: colour, form and space.

Inﬂuenced by the modernist tradition with a minimal aesthetic, her approach is a subtle investigation into the effect of light on perception and plays with the contrast between the organic versus the abstract geometric.

For Malgosia Stepnik “Everything is Vibration. We live in the sea of energy where everything is connected to everything else.”

Through her work Malgosia actively encourages people to look beyond what they see and know and what they have been taught to believe. In her most recent work we see the interplay of bright colour palette juxtaposed with white pearlescent background encouraging sense of calm. The circular shape of the artwork on show and the carefully applied multicoloured circular elements signify circle of life and unity.

Colour and luminosity play a crucial role in Melitta Nemeth’s works selected for this exhibition. These two elements are the components that create atmosphere and elevate the painting above realism. Her work is concerned with changing the perception of the female body by depicting it as a place of joy, memory, experience and personal stories. Nemeth uses photos from diverse sources as reference, including old photographs, newspaper illustrations and her own photos. She makes expressive paintings, investigating how meaning is formed through the material production of the image.

Nicole Rose explores the emotional response to the natural world around her translating her research through a rigorous physical method and meticulous technique. Using layers of oil colour and a sweeping brush technique Nicole’s ﬁnished paintings take on an ethereal quality. Alongside her paintings she also creates complementary prints that are at once a reﬂection of the original painting – and a new perspective on it.

Red, according to colour psychology, provokes the strongest and most contradictory emotions of any colour, signalling both danger and aggression but also love and desire. Non Worrall utilises her essentially eclectic approach in the palette knife application of paint in ‘Blind Fury’ which mirrors the intense feelings of anger when forced to abide by unfair decisions whereas, in ‘Dancing Shoots’, the more nuanced brush application of a wider range of tones of red creates a sense of the exuberance of the new shoots of the tree peony. What would pattern sound like if interpreted as a rhythm or melody?

How would music look if transposed into the visual realm?

The result of a long-term collaboration between composer Lee Westwood and geometer Sama Mara has culminated in this unique cross-disciplinary artistic venture revealing the bonds between Art & Music, bringing to light an unforeseen unity that

merges the worlds of Traditional Islamic Art & Western Contemporary Composition.

COLOUR AND OTHER VIBRATIONS:

Each year we embark on a journey of exploration and expression by selecting a specific topic which represents the underlining link connecting all of our yearly exhibitions. Each year, we ask artists, designers, curators to interpret our yearly theme when they select or create site specific artworks for the exhibitions. Our aim is to chose a topic we think reflects a cultural shift that is happening or that is about to happen. With the topic of COLOUR AND OTHER VIBRATIONS we wish to explore the the dynamic relationship between colour, perception, and the vibrational essence of existence through the very unique point of view of each of the artists or project selected.

Anna Boggon - Charge -Oil on canvas - 122x153 cm

We believe that this theme not only offers basis to explores the profound relationship between humanity and the universe but it also encourages viewers to reﬂect on the very subjective nature of perception and on the impact that social and geopolitical culture may have on our way of understanding it.

For us Colour and other vibrations theme fosters an interdisciplinary exploration that transcends boundaries and opens the door to creative, thought-provoking conversations about the essence of color and vibrations in our lives. It's a theme that promises to offer an extraordinary and intellectually enriching experience for both artists and viewers.

ArtMoorHouse aim is to establish a unique platform for promoting an unsurpassed synergy between creativity and business. We create curated visual experiences and presentations, working with emerging and internationally acclaimed artists. We strive to engage, inspire and provide a talking point and an ice breaker in the banking and commercial environment. Currently collaborating with Savills and CBRE for the art exhibition program in a number of commercial buildings in London, UK

Anna Boggon

“I am delighted to be included in the exhibition Colour and Other Vibrations which resonates with my ongoing enquiry into perception and interpretation.

Within the medium of painting, I work with reimagined colours derived from distant places, memories, and dreams. Adjoining colours have the potential to create friction or conﬂict, creating a conundrum to consider, or remedy. In other instances, a hue can make another colour sing, creating unadulterated joy and the embrace of difference.

Ultimately the interplay of colours within my paintings reﬂects not only the diversity of sources relative to time and place but also the rich tapestry of human experience. It is within this convergence of hues, where friction and harmony coexist.”

"Colours' emotional pull and meanings are deeply embedded in the human psyche and are powerfully inﬂuenced by our multitudes of cultures, experiences and perceptions. In my work I explore our interactions with - and visceral responses to - saturated colours and symbolism, in paintings that evoke warmth, joy, calm and optimism."

Malgosia Stepnik

Colour, its use and its impact on the viewer has always played an important role in Stepnik’s work.

Breathe: Joy, is part of series called “Breathe”, Side of Malgosia

Stepnik’s art practice which is inspired by the Eastern traditions of Buddhist philosophy of life and ﬁndings of the optical illusion movement.

This artwork has been designed to inspire and stimulate sensation of joy through the interplay of bright colour palette juxtaposed with white pearlescent background encouraging sense of calm. The circular shape of the artwork and the carefully applied multicoloured circular elements signify circle of life and unity.

In the current unsettledness of the world’s political and ﬁnancial climate perhaps more than ever the arts play an important role in creating a sense of well-being, joys and unity.

"My paintings are expressions of emotion and the evocation of places I visit through the use of blended and blurred colour ﬁelds.

When people look at these paintings, they too feel an emotive draw or a connection to a place in their own memory which then often prompts conversation about thoughts, feelings and personal experiences."

Sama Mara and Lee Westwood

“What would colour and pattern sound like if interpreted as a melody or rhythm?

How would music look if transposed into the visual realm?

A Hidden Order presents an award winning artistic venture between geometer Sama Mara and composer Lee Westwood, revealing the bonds between Art & Music, and bringing to light an unforeseen unity that merges the worlds of Traditional Islamic Art & Western Contemporary Composition.

Via a pioneering new theory discovered by Mara, 10 large scale works explore the intimate relationship of music and geometric form through a groundbreaking and unique method of translation. The wave nature of light and sound draws a direct parallel between colour and musical notes, with traditional patterns and symmetries finding their sonic counterpart in musical rhythms. In these artworks, the performances of musicians playing specially composed works are translated directly into stunning geometric artworks, and vice versa. Rhythms from the music create specific geometric patterns, each note of the scale is represented by a unique hue, the intensity of the colour is derived from the loudness of the note, and even the unique inflections and dynamics of the musical performance leave their mark in the nuances of colour and variations in tone, making each performance of the work distinct in character.

Sama Mara and Lee Westwood

Beyond the artworks displayed here, A Hidden Order takes on the forms of a collection of artworks, an album of original musical compositions, a live audio-visual performance, a video installation and an interactive platform”- Sama Mara

Lee WestWood

Lee is a Lecturer In Music at the University Of Sussex, where he received his Doctorate in Musical Composition under the supervision of British composer Martin Butler. Outside of Sussex, Lee has run workshops, masterclasses, lectures, seminars and private tuition for institutions such as University Of Cyprus, Aldeburgh Young Musicians, Trinity Laban, Chalice Wells Trust, Prince's School Of Traditional Arts, Cumnor House School and Access To Music.

Charitable Work

My studio is within London’s Collage Arts creative regeneration charity and part of the annual ‘N22 Open Studios’ showcasing over 100 artists and their impact and value to North London’s diverse communities. I have been awarded commissions for public artwork by the Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zone ‘Made by Tottenham’ (Haringey) and participate in numerous charitable art-based fund raising initiatives. Representative efforts include ‘Spotlight on Asylum’ assisting vulnerable women asylum seekers; the CRIS Cancer Foundation funding vital clinical medical research in the UK and Europe; Art on a Postcard charity auctions; and several initiatives to beneﬁt NHS staff during the pandemic, as well as in support of Book Trust, and in support of humanitarian aid to refugees

Coombe Farm Studios Residency

Coombe Farm Studios (Devon) approached me in 2021 to tutor at their selective intensive residential courses in intuitive abstract painting as part of their roster of professional artists. I currently am in residence there as a guest tutor two times a year.

Mada Vicassiau

In some of her work, Mada Vicassiau deepens her investigations into the effects of light on surfaces and the dialogue between the pictorial and the architectural space. Mada Vicassiau’s sewn canvases series explores the rich territory between sculpture and painting.

Materiality and process are central to her practice and evoke functional architecture mixing the materiality of canvas with the sheer organdie and revealing the structure of the stretcher giving the viewer a more multi-dimensional experience.

Malgosia Stepnik

Lives and Works in The Cotswolds, UK

In 1999 Stepnik left Sociology studies at University of Wroclaw in Poland and emigrated to London (UK ) to pursue her art studies. After obtaining Diploma in Modern and Contemporary Art Studies from Christies Education in 2003, she then went on to pursue Foundation Course at Chelsea College of Art & Design. In 2008 she was awarded BA First Class (Hon) in Painting from City and Guilds London College Of Art.

In her work Stepnik explores the inevitability of interconnectedness and its implications in the context of the relatedness and its impact on Humanity. Her artworks express the need for connection in the more and more polarised world.

In order to project that experience onto the viewer Stepnik often uses the circle as a symbol, which performs as a visual conduit for axis mundi - the interconnection of humanity. The Artist insistently tries to convey the importance of the preservation of the symbiosis between the natural and the human worlds.

Since 2013, Malgosia has become increasingly involved in her art practice in supporting Women Movement and the urgency and need for the dialog, representation and support of women from around the Globe. She partners with artists and organisations to support women, sharing her experience as a woman, sharing

Malgosia Stepnik

her experience as a woman, artist and an emigrant.

Nicole Rose

My work, as an artist, explores the emotional response to the natural world around me.

I primarily create abstract paintings based on the landscape. Using layers of oil colour and a sweeping brush technique the finished paintings take on an ethereal quality. Alongside my paintings I also create complementary prints that are at once a reflection of the original painting – and a new perspective on it. Focusing on a photographed section of a finished painting, I work in Photoshop to reimagine and rebalance, creating a run of limited-edition giclée prints that are both a part of the original works – and a fresh response to the landscape in their own right.

My current selection of paintings and prints are created following visits to nature reserves where I record sights, sounds, colours and routes taken, to remember and work from in my studio.

I graduated from Central St Martins School of Art in 1992 with a BA in Graphic Design, and before my full time art practice I had a successful career as a Creative Director, running my own commercial design studio for many years.

My paintings and giclée prints can be found in private and corporate collections around the World.

LEE WESTWOOD – GUITARIST & COMPOSER

Described by the Musician's Union as "one of the UK's most exciting and versatile musicians", Lee Westwood is a guitarist and composer whose wide-ranging output stems from a longterm tenacity for musical exploration. Far from ordinary, Lee's works span from the Music-Geometry crossover of his multimedia exhibition 'A Hidden Order' to a vast backcatalogue of works for solo guitar; from headlining festival stages with Hip-Hop groups and Prog Folk acts to commissions from some of the UK's leading soloists, ensembles and choirs. Lee's music has been supported and commissioned through organisations including Arts Council England, Magnum Photography, BBC, PRS Foundation, LSO Soundhub, Sound and Music, Making Music, ICLI, Composit New Music Festival, John Armitage Memorial Trust, Claypot Ensemble, University Of Sussex and Cheltenham Composer Academy. Alongside many years of touring his own solo guitar works, Lee's music has also been performed by members of the LSO, Riot Ensemble, Joby Burgess, Maarten Stragier, Miranda Nee, Windrose Trio, New Music Players, Workers Union Ensemble, MusArc, The Chapel Choir of Selwyn College Cambridge, Notes Inégales, Adam Swayne and Hidden Order Ensemble

Lee received Arts Council support for 'A Hidden Order', a collaboration with geometer Sama Mara exploring the relationship between music and geometry. Manifesting as a collection of large-scale prints, an album, a video installation

LEE WESTWOOD – GUITARIST & COMPOSER

and an interactive platform, the exhibition centres around a multimedia performance of a new suite of chamber works, whereby live music is translated in real-time into its geometric counterpart (Saatchi Gallery; Aga Khan Museum; SCOPE Miami; Athr Gallery; Prince's School Of Traditional Arts; Chalice Wells Trust; Edinburgh International Science Festival; Kashya Hildebrand; Abu Dhabi Art).

As a guitarist, Lee has shared the stage with countless guitar and folk legends, and has toured his music extensively throughout the UK and Europe.
