STUART HARTLEY: 12 Mar - 04 Apr

“My practice orientates itself around the idea of a space that exists in and around the 2 dimensional surface plane associated with painting. It is the here and the now, the moment of encounter and the journey around the works objecthood. It is about existence and the viewer’s presence and perceptions within the situation.” - SH 2008
