Compendium

Original and Edition Works from Castlefield Print Portfolio Artists:

Gordon Cheung • Elaine Constantine • Rachel Goodyear • Tom Hackney • Chris Jones • Mark Leckey • Olivia Plender • Carole Romaya

The exhibition features a wide range of works, in terms of content, style and medium. Surreal landscape paintings are presented, courtesy of Gordon Cheung, alongside photo-realist paintings by Tom Hackney. They are complemented by the fairy tale inspired drawings of Rachel Goodyear, Olivia Plender’s large-scale gothic depictions of artistic genius, Carole Romaya’s whimsical sculptures and Chris Jones’ hybrid plant species, which merge the mediums of photography, print and sculpture.
Also on show are photographs from Elaine Constantine’s acclaimed Tea Dance series; lifestyle images that are in stark contrast to Mark Leckey’s bizarre re-workings of vintage men’s magazine Parade.

Compendium is part of the Manchester Art Season from Oct 2005 to Feb 2006 alongside the Manchester Art Show at MICC G-MEX 27 – 30 October, and Manchester Art Gallery’s Make Me C 12 November to 5 February 2006.

The Print Portfolio highlights the quality and diversity of contemporary artists that Castlefield Gallery has worked with since relocating in 2002. These signed, limited edition prints have been specially commissioned and are exclusive to Castlefield Gallery.

Print Portfolio is a partnership with specialist printers Sensory Imaging Display (SID) in Manchester. Please visit www.castlefieldgallery.co.uk for more information.
