  • SIGNAL 8 SUMMER SHOW 2010 the Cat Street Gallery Signal 8 Summer Show
    SIGNAL 8 SUMMER SHOW 2010 The Cat Street Gallery Signal 8 Summer Show Signal 8, The Cat Street Gallery’s annual summer salon show, will feature the curator’s choice of international contemporary artists and includes an array of paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures and new media works. The gallery’s core artists will be complimented by new faces, acting both a retrospective and a preview of new artists to come. Opening reception: Wednesday 4th August 6-9pm Show Dates: Thursday 5th August - Saturday 4th September Giles Alexander Based in Australia, the British artist Giles Alexander blurs the boundaries between realism and abstraction in his paintings. An ardent researcher, his work displays an enduring interest in the themes of memory and history. His paintings include images from personal documentary, as well as historically significant and insignificant ‘found’ images, therefore juxtaposing personal and second hand experience and confusing the banal, important and sublime. His work is many ways a response to the modern condition of existing in a world which proliferates with vast and rapidly disseminated images. Alexander’s paintings often use images of historical significance to draw parallels with and critically reflect on contemporary issues and their representation in the media. Some of his paintings rework seminal history paintings using contemporary people and symbols. In other paintings, images or sometimes formal abstractions are juxtaposed in surprising ways with architecture. This dialogue concerning the status of the image is also central to the materiality of the work. Philosophy aside, the artist displays an academic touch which he can manipulate at will, which reveals his commitment to investigate the possibilities of painting.
