SEEN/UNSEEN

Stephen Namara and Tom Seligman are old friends who explore the physicality of paint, ink and surface textures in these deeply immersive works. They enter a world that is both seen and unseen, where prior knowledge and technique, coupled with experimentation, risk and chance, lead to visual solutions full of surprise, openness and curiosity. They draw on a leanness of technique and an innate feeling for surface textures. Their mediums speak of an open two-way process of making and unmaking, of the physical actions of painting and the emotional impacts of looking.
