Liquid Dreams | Jumaadi
1 - 23 December, 2021
Jan Manton Gallery is pleased to present Liquid Dreams by Jumaadi on show between 1 - 23 December 2021. Liquid Dreams continues the artists’ exploration of watercolour and gouache on paper and delves into the artists' portrayal of isolation through a series of bare horizons. Jumaadi’s new works acknowledge the landscape’s continuity and finds solace in feelings of loneliness.
Catalogue essay writer Taylor Hall states: Painted with gouache and watercolour on paper, Jumaadi creates each work with a sense of intuition, fuelled by daydreams which flow, like paint, through the brush and onto paper. In describing his works, Jumaadi says they, “accommodate my thoughts and feelings... before forming their compositions intuitively; flowing through the grass in some meadow... they become the answers, and at the same time they also become the questions. They are a record of my liquid dreams.”
