Pallant House Gallery Exhibition (2014)
On March 11th 2014 in room 4, photographs were taken of visitors whilst engaged in the viewing and understanding of the work on display in this beautiful Georgian room. I set out to highlight the interaction, gaze and stance of people engaged in the activity of viewing art. The 27 ink and water colour paintings were created from these photographs; I feel these capture the tranquillity of being in that particular space. Once photographed and printed these will be placed in room four in a visitors book. Each page will depict an image and a comment, either from the visitor or in relation to work they are viewing.
Outside Room 4.
Coming here reminds me to go back to my drawing.
I have come here with my father, love this work. (William Nicholson 1872-1949 The White House)
This is a lovely place to work.
The art work in this Georgian residence, allows for a more personal interaction with the work.
This work surprises me, it could have been painted yesterday!
Squeaky floor boards in this room.
As a friend of Pallant House for many years, I find the gallery provides a quiet contemplative space.
Up close and personal. (W. Sickert 1860-1942 Les Arcades de la Poissonnerie)
Looking for the Peploe.
I haven't been here since I was a student in Chichester. My Husband is an artist.
Discussing the possibility of popular myth surrounding the artist Sickert.
Post WW1 must have been such a difficult time.
Fleeting visit, in my lunch break.
Observing the William Orpen above the mantelpiece.
Closer inspection of the Walter Sickert. Collection (1860-1942)
Love these chairs.
I am so excited to be starting my Degree, I have come to do my research here in the library.
I don't think I have seen this work before, is this part of the Pallant House Collection.
I really love this Peploe painting, not sure why it feels so familiar. (Samuel John Peploe 1871-1935, one of the Scottish colourists)
Glancing at etchings by Nicholson and Sickert.
Just need to make some notes, always something new to see and learn. The Scottish painters seem to have a much brighter palette, but that could do with the light, which is much cooler.
I don't usually come into this room.
Stopped in my tracks as this painting reminds me of somewhere I have been.
The Camden Art Group were using a very dark palette at that time.
Waiting for my husband to join me.
