‘The 8 artists represented in this exhibition offer a fresh perspective on a traditional genre, where painting landscape belongs as much to the virtual, invisible or imaginary plane, as to describing the topography of what is before one eyes. From the interface between real and remembered, dreamt and experienced; for these painters landscape as painted as opposed to being photographed, offers an ‘elsewhere’ - a setting beyond ordinary ground.

Attempts to articulate the fragile nature of phenomenon and the apprehension of shifting realities has been the domain of philosophers. The ability to look at these versions of worlds via painting, is perhaps to reveal as much about the looker as of the looked at.’
