At the Point of Gesture brought together five artists who, in their different ways, explore and renegotiate the potential of gesture and materiality. While such approaches have been castigated, deconstructed, and even avoided in much recent painting practice, these painters focus on, and relish, the nature of paint guided by the body both as a site of potential meaning and ‘disruptive’ physicality.
Exhibition curated by David Ryan. The artists included were Clem Crosby, Gabriel Hartley, Andrea Medjesi-Jones, David Ryan and Alaena Turner.
There was also a panel discussion examining the potential of gesture and materiality in painting, in the context of the gallery exhibition 'At the Point of Gesture…' on 11 February 2015.
