Inside Outside- Exhibition
This exhibition is an exploration of Gibraltar's relationship with Brexit and the European Union and explores whether Gibraltar's place is inside or outside of the European Union as a result of the Brexit vote.
Inspired by the use of a grid in the 80s TV show The Joy of Painting by Bob Ross, the solid colour double grid on each of the images is a metaphor for the European Union.
Items that sit inside the grid recede into the background whereas items that sit in front of the grid jump into the foreground. This visual effect plays with the order of items in the fore, middle and background sometimes leading to distorted imagery.
This exhibition was first shown in the GEMA gallery in Gibraltar in April 2019 and was shown a month later in the Club Financiero de Genova in Madrid in May of the same year.
The paintings from this series have now sold out.
