CALL TO ARTISTS

Drawn to Dorset Fifty Drawings

Drawn to Dorset: Fifty Drawings will explore current themes, trends, and innovations in contemporary drawing practices. We are looking for work that interrogates the boundaries of what drawing is and can be - drawing in all its possibilities.

This will be presented in the form of a publication and an exhibition at the Fine Foundation Gallery, Durlston Castle, Swanage, in July 2019.

The selection will be made by an eminent panel: to include an academic, curator and artist in the field of contemporary drawing. To be announced online on Monday 14 January.

The publication will focus on an expanded notion of drawing made in Dorset, of Dorset or about Dorset. It will include written contributions contextualising the selection and reflecting new thinking about drawing, with a foreword by Professor Anita Taylor, Executive Dean of Bath School of Art and Design and founding Director of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize.

The publication will retail at an estimated price of £15.

Inclusion price is £250 payable on selection. All selected artists will receive 15 copies.

See dorsetvisualarts.org for submission details.

MATILDA TEMPERLEY: ‘A FIRE IS LIT...’ Photograph ARTIST’S STATEMENT: “I grew up in the shadow of Burrow Hill on the Somerset Levels. Having a commission to explore my own area has been wonderfully eye opening. Looking a little harder at my surroundings has been an incredible adventure. It is more diverse and interesting than I ever imagined, and I have only scratched the surface. While there are portraits of the industries synonymous with the area such as elverers, peat-diggers, cheddar cheese makers, cider farmers and withy growers, I have also tried to reflect Somerset’s alternative communities and a rapidly changing landscape.” ‘A VIEW FROM THE HILL’ Until 1 June: Somerset Rural Life Museum, GLASTONBURY, BA6 8DB. srlm.org.uk.

Walking into Leslie Glenn Damhus’ studio, one is immediately confronted by the mid Italian Renaissance. Her work is steeped in religious iconography and she borrows extensively from quattrocento imagery. The attributions of the saints figure largely in her compositions alongside hairless cats and dogs, humming birds and other creatures, fruits and vegetables. As a child she was both attracted to and repelled by the powerful imagery of Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights to the extent that looking at it felt like an illicit pleasure. This duality, this exploring of contrasts has become a hallmark of her work. She mixes the sacred and the profane, the serious with the playful, the significant with the trivial. Glenn Damhus is something of a magpie gathering images and ideas from many sources, appropriating and reimagining them and then creating collages of these disparate ingredients on her computer. She is passionate about the work of Carlo Crivelli, in particular The Lenti Madonna c.1480. Jacopo di Pontormo is another source. Her work also cites contemporary cultural references, which she inserts into her outwardly serious Renaissance settings with a wry smile. Her dinner plate halos are a quote from Ronald Lightbown’s monograph on Crivelli where he describes halos as looking like ‘golden plates’. The knitted pussy hats sported by both the Madonna and the cat in Winter 2017, are an obvious Trump reference and appealed to her sense of the ridiculous. Referencing current social and political concerns, she slips in polka dot backgrounds, a gaudy piece of cabin baggage that becomes a seat in Madonna the Terrier and the Suitcase and the Hadron Collider which makes an appearance as another halo in the Madonna and Chimp Altarpiece. Growing up in the United States, she was ‘HEAR NO EVIL’ (Oil on Board 100 x 70 cm, 2017) introduced to the history of art by her mother, but it was only when she came to the UK and explored the National Gallery’s LESLIE GLENN DAMHUS extensive collection of Crivelli’s, that it Leslie’s historical ‘quotes’ are selective and Glenn Damhus’ process is intriguing. became an obsession.
