Figuratively Speaking

Figuratively Speaking is a virtual exhibition celebrating depictions of body within art.

​

Touch starved and distanced, we are now more aware than ever of our physical presence. Aware of the space we take up, the way it feels to breathe, to move, to hold and be held. Aware of the invisible lines between us that we must now navigate, the lines that move and shift our embodied experience of the world. Every day has become a dance, every interaction a language of body talk.

This exhibition will celebrate the bodies that carry us. Through the eyes of the contributing artists we will appreciate how the figure communicates our humanity. We will share in how it tells our stories of desire, fear, vulnerability and resilience.

The space in which these works will come together is also figurative, appropriately isolated from reality. In this virtual space the physicality of the body will become impossibly realised, it will resonate with us despite the distance of the digital. It will move us, figuratively speaking.
