#futureexhibition

This exhibition has just opened to the public, and is a paid exhibition that I have not visited in person, however the website for the gallery have uploaded a walk-through of the exhibition and I have an understanding of how it is laid out. The walls of the gallery are dull and a muted blue tone to match the shades used within the artwork itself, and consists of one large explanation poster and a series of smaller blurbs to explain the collection of art pieces. The pieces vary in size and scale, and the frames also vary. The larger pieces have thicker and darker frames, whereas the smaller artworks have natural shades of frames and the art itself has a thick border between the art and the frame. They have displayed this exhibition so that the larger pieces get their own walls and own space to be hung, and the smaller pieces are located together in the same space so that the artwork doesn’t get drowned out by the space it is presented in. this exhibition consists of both flat and box canvas paintings, and I cannot take inspiration from how they are hung as it does not link to the style of art that I am creating. What I can take inspiration from is the use of colour, and how they have linked everything together though colour so that the elements complement one another.

This will not be on display until the end of the year, but as this exhibition is focusing on one single artist, I can assume that this will consist of his large canvas paintings taking up an entire wall each with a blurb for each painting beside the work. Either that or his work will be displayed neatly in the sequence on one or two walls to make his work be divided into smaller collections to make the most of the space provided. I assume that the work will be hung in the style of hooks underneath the frame of the canvas to keep them secured to the wall, either that or bracket framed canvases. I think that because the artwork is all two dimensional and able to be hung upon the wall that the floor space will be bare to allow for larger collections of audiences to view the exhibition.
