Industrial Abstract
20 April - 8 June2013
Featuring work from Alice Fox, James Faulkner, Paul Storer and Lorraine Clewlow, Industrial Abstract focuses on our build environment and the surfaces that surround us.
The exhibition will feature the body of textile work Fabric of the Building from Fox, who questions the state of our contemporary built environment, references moves to introduce living surfaces to our concrete jungles, and offers a gentle nod to historical flattened relief sculpture.
Faulkner’s work picks up the theme and explores the effects of erosion and decay on surfaces: the impact of nature upon manmade objects, metal, wood or plastics. He uses these inspirations to create a developing series of forms and surface finishes on ceramics that embody and express the innate beauty seen in these natural processes.
Photographer Paul Storer brings the distortion of the lens / camera in to play by amplifying the surface and fabric of manmade structures around us thus moving us to consider the beauty of light as it plays on our industrial surroundings.
Often abstract and ambiguous, Lorraine Clewlow's sculptures takes place in our response to the form, texture and touch of the piece. Often making use of patina and the 'creep' of surface change, we are reminded of fragmented experience and emotions. This is art that is felt in the gut.

A little reminder | The colour reproduction of works shown on screen will vary to some extent from the original due to the photograph and the computer screen on which you view the piece. If colour is of overriding importance for your purchase, please visit the gallery to make your purchase.
All the work we show at The Beetroot Tree and on line is individually made and therefore once sold, it cannot be reproduced. However many of our artists are able to accept orders and commissions for similar pieces, and pieces created to your specification within their style. Look for the 'Commissions' button when you go to the artists information page by clicking their name or searching by Artist and see 'Commissions' for details.
As all work in exhibitions has to remain in display for the duration of the exhibtion even when purchased - we will add a red dot sticker to the piece so that it is yours, and will dispatch it to you within 7 days of the end of the exhibition.
