Studio in February 2009

"Aileen Hamilton is a decidedly different artist to the aforementioned artists... Exuberant, energetic circular movements, suggestive of a large powerful wave combining both the upper and the under worlds, creating a ying/yang effect and a harmony and balance between the two. At the centre of this typhoon imagery lies what appears to be an eye, suggesting a consciousness to this process. The sea is often evoked in Hamilton's work. In constant flux, the sea represents the impermanent nature of things and given its vast expanse, it is also a space of infinite potential, a rich source of inspiration for the artist." Extract from Paula Clarke's essay on The Meeting. Full text available at http://www.oliviercornetgallery.com/#/the-meeting-by-paula-clarke/4593990103 Exhibition on till 3rd September.
