Exhibition: Reimagined @ Bannatyne Spa Hotel, Hastings
Pure ART360 Edition 3 will consider the artists muse: the source of their inspiration.
A muse, in the most basic sense, is something that serves as an inspiration to an artist. The word itself however dates back to Greek mythology, with Zeus’ daughters forming the nine Muses who presided over the arts and science. This historical context has imbued the word muse with a distinctly ethereal, feminine quality.
In this exhibition we seek to reimagine the topography of the muse in the 21st century. Moving away from the historically acceptable notion of the muse as feminine, to a more complex, diverse narrative where the ‘source’ of an artists inspiration can come in manifold, divergent elements and forms.
The art will be featured in a 3D virtual space online and in real life at Bannatynes Spa Hotel in Hastings.
Featured artists include: Felicity Flutter, Louisa Crispin, Carole Bury, Hildegard Pax, Shulan Wang, Edith Pargh Barton, Ollie Holman, Markus Thonett, Jonathan Hateley, Brenda Hartill, Nina Stopar, Juliette Scott, Roel Funcken, Sandra Menant and Les Williams PSGFA.
