             MURRAY O'GRADY AND MATILDA MOORS

           

           

           

            Murray O’Grady and Matilda Moors have collaborated to create this new work for the Blackpool Culture Shops programme.
            Their collaboration has resulted in a highly stylised image which the duo have conceived as both artwork and advertisement.

            The work is part of a larger project; LIKEABLE – an exhibition curated by the duo, on show throughout April / May at Supercollider 
            (inside FYCreatives, Church Street).

            ALICE BROWNE

           

           

           

            Alice Browne makes non-representational paintings characterised by a multiple layering of coloured plains. Browne's paintings
            are built in a very deliberate manner; coloured layers are laid over one another in a repetitiveprocess with each layer conspiring
            to create a whole.

            JAMES CLARKSON

           

           

           

            James  Clarkson's practice explores a sensuality of material and imagery, in which methods of production rooted in are tested by
            the potential of an object or image to change under a new set of concerns. His paintings become part of this process, breaking down
            historical artworks through nuance and abstraction into pure shape and colour, to be used as an instruction for the creation of new
            sculptural works.

            FIONA SHAW

           

           

            Fiona Shaw aims to reanimate the shop at 59 Cookson Street through the use of a simple gesture: providing the audience with a sentence lifted from an unknown origin.
            Shaw’s work often employs text as a medium and the sentences she crafts invariably exist without a start or an end point, instead allowing the audience the space to
            start or finish the sentence for them selves.

            At its most basic level Shaw’s work is about communication, more specifically the difficulties of communication. In Shaw’s hands, text and words are used to understand
            human vulnerability in the modern age.
