An Exhibition of
Paintings
by Lélia
Pissarro, Lynsey Storer and Christopher John
took place in the Lewis Gallery at Rugby School
from Monday 9 June to Saturday 14 June 2008
Lynsey Storer’s optical art is an attempt to
recreate light, using grey and white to produce
different optical responses. ‘I intend my work to be unforgettable even if the
experience
is not a pleasant sensation for the viewer,’ she says.
Christopher John’s influences range from the early
20th century Vorticists
(and Wyndham Lewis whose work he recently curated for the Lewis Gallery)
to the lurid psychedelia of the rave generation
Lélia Pissarro aims for a mood of intimacy,
‘bringing the viewer into the painting
as into an alcove, a boudoir, a secret room or studio where the painting is
being made,
born or destroyed’. She showed supporting photographs and video film
of a painting being created step-by-step
