Flowers Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works created over the last 18 months by British painter Tai Shan Schierenberg. In this exhibition, nature is represented in a series of remembered landscapes and seascapes, which appear desolate and unpopulated or sparsely inhabited by lone figures. Schierenberg describes this sequence of works as "self-portraits of sorts," creating archetypal characters and metaphors within the landscape to navigate personal experience. In paintings such as Mirage, Bodies of Water and No Man is an Island, reflections in the mirrorlike surfaces of lake and ocean suggest states of division or flux. Schierenberg describes these works as contemplating isolation and disconnectedness, while also representing distortions of reality and the nature of illusion.
