Honiton: A new exhibition opens this month at Thelma Hulbert

An exhibition of new work by artist Nick Goss opens at Thelma Hulbert Gallery on March 19 and it explores the impermanence of our landscapes.

Goss explores imagined lands, submerged landscapes and deluges, creating an almost dreamlike collection of images.

He merges personal memories of London with documentary photographs of historic floods to create thought provoking and challenging images, which have a sense of displacement and prophesy.

Nick Goss is an Anglo-Dutch artist who studied at the Slade and Royal Academy Schools, London. His recent solo exhibitions include Josh Lilley, London, Simon Preston, New York, and Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin. He lives and works in London.

Nick said: "Working on this project for Thelma Hulbert Gallery has been tremendously rewarding and challenging, pushing my practice into new places.

"The themes of flooding and our fragile relationship with nature have been a constant in my work for a while now, but by collaborating on a soundscape for the exhibition and developing the printing aspect of my practice I feel the work is heading into new territories."

Fiona Page-Turner of Thelma Hulbert Gallery told Nub News: "Visitors will have a fantastic opportunity to view a whole new body of work from one of Britain's most exciting contemporary painters.

"Nick Goss's work is collected internationally, and he has had exhibitions in Berlin, New York and London, so THG is honoured to feature his work for the first time in Devon."

Councillor Nick Hookway (East Devon District Council Portfolio Holder Tourism, Leisure, Sport and Culture) said: "The themes of this exhibition will resonate across our communities and help us to reflect upon our changing landscape due to flooding and erosion, both important issues for East Devon."

Thelma Hulbert has commissioned Goss and multi-instrumentalist Jim Wallis to compose a soundtrack that play alongside the exhibition.
