The exhibition eight showcases the work of a group of eight contemporary artists with different backgrounds and styles. Two years where each artist has been working on individual art pieces within a communal studio space has come to an end. Swapping ideas, conversations and techniques daily has allowed the artists to share inspirations and this research and sense of play is now culminating in this final group show. Eight will reveal to the public a range of contrasting styles and mediums enabling the transition of eight fellow students into eight emerging and individual artists. A journey that started together will end together.

The following eight words describe this exhibition and the artists who are collaborating together: -

Experience. Interaction. Change. Obsessive. Time. Repetition. Journey. Process.

With each artist working within their own distinct agendas there is no overarching brief. There is however a sense of cohesion as each artist’s work sits comfortably with the next through the employment of sensitive curatorship and through each artist within the show knowing the other’s work intimately. The eight words outlined above have been chosen individually by each member of the exhibiting group and yet they outline similar thought processes and trajectories between eight varying practices. This contrast of similarities and differences teamed within a group mindset promises to deliver a fresh and exciting body of work resulting in a diverse and contemporary exhibition.

A journey that started together will now end together. Emulated through quiet contemplation of the work on show the viewer may well just sense that this is a journey that has only just begun…
