And Where’s The World You’re Living In: Cam Summers

The focus on movement explicates thought in a visual format.  The paintings present a colossal intimacy, where figures feel larger than reality, as large as the mind, yet equally ephemeral.  A simplified colour palette intensifies tone, gesture and mark-making in an ethereal realm, warmly connecting the viewer in a familiar, yet otherworldly way.  An invitation to explore the body of work as a chasm of the mind.  Interconnected and interdependent moments of fluidity pass over each work, in subject and style, painting a narrative of mental movement and conversation with the self.  Here, it's heard out loud.  It's felt, as neither pleasure nor pain, just psychological abstraction.

The inclusion of dance is equal parts the concept as is demonstrated through painting.  An exchanging collaboration to convey the idea.  As the abstract figurative poses are represented through visual language, the emotive representations are conveyed by the 'entering into' and 'exiting from' with an experience of movement.  This contextualises the frames for the viewer, providing a metaphorical 'source', and subsequent 'impact'.
