Alice Neave's (Studio 0-228) first solo exhibition in five years, Lying Near Water, opens at Blue Shop Gallery on Wednesday 4th October, 6-9pm. Alice works predominantly with raw pigment on calico, often incorporating hand stitching to create a painting in which process and materiality is at the heart of the work. Neave works with this malleable and tactile material to explore personal themes and motifs whilst bringing to the forefront a strong, material image that leaves the viewer with a huge amount of ambiguity.
