Magnus Hammick  |  Paul Newman
A collaboration, exhibition & open studios

Artist in residence presents lockdown paintings             

Magnus Hammick & Paul Newman have collaborated on a project relating to the landscape, and sharing a visual language. Hammicks immersive oil paintings are a follow on from earlier performance work made in makeshift studios, a Yellow Cube within the landscape, articulating extended periods of time spent fully immersed in the painting, mark making and abstraction. Newman’s process begins with a journey into often remote terrain, making observational drawings of pencil on paper. In this performance a makeshift studio will be set up for Newman by Hammick. Large scale drawings of two oak trees within the grounds of Close House have been agreed as the main subject for this experimental event. The trees, conceptually representing the two artists. 

Katherine Perrins | Artist in residence presents paintings made during lockdown
Katherine Perrins work explores the understated quiet of domestic life. Bringing up children and spending time within the confines of the home. Her paintings honour the pursuit of housework, of interiors and amplifies the private and the ordinary. Her accomplished painting talent could be likened to the dutch masters who rose to fame from depicting rural life as well as STILL LIFE. During lockdown the subject matter has not changed but the essence of our isolation experience brings a new relevance to Perrins work. We welcome her first show at Close Ltd.
