Jerwood Encounters: Suspicion

A Jerwood Encounters exhibition curated by Dan Coombs. 


5 November - 7 December 2014 

Jerwood Space, London

NATHAN CASH DAVIDSON / STEPHEN CHAMBERS RA / DAN COOMBS / SIMON LINKE / GAVIN LOCKHEART / KATE LYDDON / DARREN MARSHALL / DAMIEN MEADE / BENJAMIN SENIOR / GERALDINE SWAYNE / NEAL TAIT/ COVADONGA VALDES / FREYA WRIGHT

Curated by painter Dan Coombs, Suspicion takes on the challenging and changing subject of narrative in painting, in the single frame of the painted image, and on painting’s unavoidable relationship with film as echoed in the inspiration for the exhibition’s title, a reference to the
1941 Hitchcock film of the same name.
Suspicion presents bold paintings from 13 artists, ranging from acclaimed Royal Academician to recently graduated artist. All of the works on exhibition are presented here in London for the first time.

Rest could be considered in terms of relaxation; of the body, muscles and brain. It could be given to the maker or the viewer of the artwork. Rest can be in a moment, between activity, in recuperation or recovery. Objects and bodies can be at rest, settled, stilled, in a temporary state or end point.

Rest infers movement has happened. Leaning is a shift of weight. Rest could refer to the in and out of making or to a state of finish. There is a need for rest. (A) Rest is sometimes a duration of silence in music, a read rest and a rest is played. A sound after another sound, sounds different from a sound after a silence.

A pause in speech or verse.

To stay in position. To place a hand on a shoulder. Think of the weight. A hand on a shoulder, relaxed, gives away. In this moment the shoulder is another mass caught in the play of resting. Two objects, relative to each other.
