This exhibition shows work by ten artists that to varying extents
deal with ideas of contemporary Romanticism through presenting
visions of the future and reflecting upon a nostalgic and natural
past. The difficulty with representing classically beautiful landscapes,
memory and the yearning for ‘Homelands’ at present
clash with the disenfranchisement of a lost wilderness into domesticated,
sub-urban, plastic and supermarket-ridden environments. The limitations
of a physical Romanticism must find new routes in the face of
a landscape ever increasingly shaped by convenience.
