Emblem | Alex Scott- Douglas

An exhibition of acrylic paintings on canvas exploring memory. The strange snapshots; collections of things / symbols / objects we group together, perhaps cling to : emblems of the past.

“Why when you write do you most frequently

Look in your heart and stare at it both first

And last, half agonized by what you see

And half bemused, seeking what is accursed

Or blessed in the past? And what demand

Is gratified?” I answered, hesitant

And slow: “Because I wish to understand

The causes of each great and small event…”

Why do you write an endless history? Delmore Schwartz

The exhibition opens Saturday 29th March and continues until the 26th April 2025.
