RELATIVE MOTION

This February, Hemmings Gallery is pleased to present RELATIVE MOTION, a group show that examines the complex relationship between motion and meaning in art. When motion is used as a guiding principle, an artist can direct the viewer's eye, create a sense of action, rhythm and dynamism in their work. 

Color contrasts and variations in brushwork—smooth versus energetic, controlled versus gestural, for example— can create a sense of directional force and tempo. Meaning emerges alongside this perceived motion. Yet what feels like chaos to one observer may suggest freedom or vitality to another. 

Join us for a closer look at how artist's explore the relative nature of motion and meaning in art and what we can learn from the relationship between the observer and the observed. Featuring the work of Frances Ashforth, Ansley West Rivers and Ezra Siegel.
