![]() ![]() The process is making me take some big steps in how I’ve historically added value to my work and how I perceive it. It’s an emotional roller coaster but one that will be worth it in the end. It brings up all the emotions and reactions that we develop through life and seems to shine them up to be considered. There’s a lot to think about from advertising it, finishing the work and thinking about how it’s all going to fit together when it is time to set it all up. Now that there is less than a month to go I’m busy ticking items off what seems like a never ending checklist. I'm hoping that they will be vibrant and evocative companions to the light installations.ģ October 2017 - Ticking off the checklist in advance of the show! All the pieces are framed and ready to go, its great to see them all complete. ![]() To complement the petri latex light installations there are a range of my works on paper which are all concerned with energy and motion, trying to capture the invisible and obscured. This is one of 9 light installations (from over 150 petri dishes) that will feature at the show Once I saw the finished pieces mounted in the MDF I was thrilled and can't wait to see it mounted over a window at Thirtyfive Gamble. It made me quite emotional as I wanted the whole piece to work but also for each of the dishes to work on its own. The piece was two months in the making from conception through to implementation. ![]() I've put together a mix of work, the one I'm really excited about is a large petri latex installation featuring 80 petri dishes in 10 colour ways. It's such a lovely venue, a bit quirky and Sue Turton who runs it is lovely and relaxed! Thirtyfive Gamble is an independent studio, gallery and community space in the centre of Nottingham. The show is taking place at Thirtyfive Gamble, 35 Gamble Street, Nottingham, NG7 4EY. It feels like its been a mammoth trip, both mentally and physically but I'm excited with what I've achieved so far and can't wait to see it all set up at the venue! Bring on Thursday when its time to set it all up! Well where did the time go? The last few months have flown by and I'm pleased to say that my first solo show, 'Firmament' is taking place this week at Thirtyfive Gamble in Nottingham. It is Paul’s hope that this exhibition will allow you to answer that question viewing the work but also drawing on your own experiences, emotions and history to discover something that resonates with you.Īrchive Blog posts related to Firmament 23 October 2017 - Firmament solo show The result is work intended equally for the artist and the perennially curious, asking the question is this art or science? Using energy and chemistry Paul’s interactions speak of more than just colour and medium. Through a series of light installations and wall based work you will get a glimpse inside worlds and galaxies which have been brought to life by Paul’s fascination with materials.įirmament brings together the alchemical Petri Latex series with ethereal and energetic works in oil, both unified by a love for investigating the obscured and imagined. It beguiles Paul and has pushed him to create, to find the elusive magic that gives rise to something unique, not always recognisable. Whether that is the enormity of the universe or the complexity of the microscopic world, the firmament is a border brimming with potential. ![]() The firmament is the arch of the sky that prevents us from seeing beyond our everyday perception. Paul Liptrot invites you to his exhibition ‘Firmament’ - which asks you to see beyond the horizon or beneath the surface. ![]()
