Separation

Three White Walls Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by British artist, Clive Sheridan. The exhibition launches with a private viewing on Thursday 28th May, running for 6 weeks until July 7th, 2009.

Sheridan’s upcoming solo show Separation is a remarkable amalgamation of some of his more provoking pieces where the meaning is contained within the brevity and the precise encasement of words and organic materials. Recent collage works will be presented along with other large scale pieces worked from natural resources.

One of the most fascinating pieces is Pleroma a concealment of the Bible. Two 1600 page volumes are spliced into a 7 mile length and coiled, with a result that is both beautiful and meticulous. With a gentle coaxing of the raw materials and almost as much time as it would take to read the Bible, a perfect single and complete journey is constructed, with no visible knowledge of its content.

While it is evident that the work in Separation originates from the deeply personal journey of the artist, it is also clear that Sheridan is inviting the viewer to make their own journey and to ask their own questions about what is seen and what is repressed and ultimately whose right it is to choose.

Don't miss the opportunity to meet the artist who will be working in residence at Three White Walls Gallery every Thursday 10- 7pm and Sunday 11- 5pm for the duration of the exhibition.
