Close to the edge... The Work of Gerald Ferguson includes examples of painting, printmaking, drawing, and sculpture made by the late artist over a forty-year period. In tracing his lengthy career, of primary attention is Ferguson’s ongoing relationship with the history and discourse of painting. From his "task-oriented" canvases involving the use of stencils and frottage to others that underline an interest in the conventions of still life and landscape, this exhibition follows Ferguson’s examination of painting and the deconstruction of its strategies. Join us in the studios for hands-on art making activities inspired by Gerald Ferguson’s art. Come explore, get inspired and get creative!
