Art in the Hotel
City Inn Manchester has specially commissioned contemporary artwork from selected artists displayed throughout the hotel and presents an annual programme of rolling art exhibitions.Triptych Artists
July - October 2008
Private View
16th July, 6.00 - 8.00pm
City Inn Manchester is delighted to exhibit a group show of recent works by three sibling artists native to the mid-lands: photographer Rob Whitrow, collage artist and sculptor Sally Whitrow and painter Kirsty Whitrow.
We have in this exhibition three very different visual languages and three very different making processes. A photographer, Rob consistently produces formal compositions by utilising grids of small photographic images or choosing to shoot subjects with a strong linear qualities. In contrast, Sallys work is undulating and fertile, her flowers nearly escape their two dimensional confines, not surprising considering her background in sculpture. Kirsty's work is again unlike her siblings, she chooses to make the small large while labouring over minutiae in contrast and colour. Her canvases are pensive, demanding, complex and rather quiet and pensive.
Each artist, and indeed each individual, has a unique way of processing the world around them and ultimately a unique way of producing art.
