MURRAY O'GRADY AND MATILDA
Murray O’Grady and Matilda Moors have collaborated to create
this new work for the Blackpool Culture Shops programme.
Their collaboration has resulted in a highly stylised image
which the duo have conceived as both artwork and advertisement.
The work is part of a larger project; LIKEABLE – an
exhibition curated by the duo, on show throughout April / May at Supercollider
(inside FYCreatives, Church Street).

ALICE BROWNE
Alice Browne makes non-representational paintings characterised by a multiple layering of coloured plains. Browne's paintings
are built in a very deliberate manner; coloured layers are laid over
one another in a repetitiveprocess with each layer conspiring
to create a whole.

#2
JAMES CLARKSON
James Clarkson's practice explores a sensuality of material and
imagery, in which methods of production rooted in are tested by
the
potential of an object or image to change under a new set of concerns. His paintings become part of
this process, breaking down
historical artworks through nuance and
abstraction into pure shape and colour, to be used as an instruction for the creation of new
sculptural works.

FIONA SHAW
Fiona
Shaw aims to reanimate the shop at 59 Cookson Street through the use of
a simple gesture: providing the audience with a sentence lifted from an
unknown origin.
Shaw’s work often employs text as a medium and the sentences she
crafts invariably exist without a start or an end point, instead
allowing the audience the space to
start or finish the sentence for them selves.
At its most basic level Shaw’s work is about communication, more
specifically the difficulties of communication. In Shaw’s hands,
text and words are used to understand
human vulnerability in the modern age.
