X 4

A group exhibition by the Fine Art Faculty at the University of Salford.

This show is not bound by medium, style, process or thematic similarities, but by a desire to bring together diverse professional practices and a curiosity about the outcome.

Angela Tait

Angela is a sculptor who works primarily in the medium of clay. She is interested in the vessel as a universally understood object/thing and in the expanded sculptural qualities of the materials. In 2021 she has performed at the International Ceramics Festival, spoken at the Centre of Ceramics Art ‘Restating Clay’ conference and has had a solo show at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland.

Brendan Fletcher

Brendan is an abstract painter. He has exhibited recently in Enough is Definitely Enough: Contemporary Artists Respond to Las Meninas, OA Gallery, Salford, (2020), Fully Awake, Freelands Foundation, London, Inner Landscapes, Hilbertraum, Berlin and Inter-Section, Huddersfield (all 2019).  He was long-listed for the Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2019.

David Hancock

David is a painter who creates fantastical immersive worlds. These worlds exist both in the real and in the imagination: whether the sanctuary of a teenage bedroom, a cosplayer manipulating the urban environment, or a scaled diorama incorporating Asian Ball-jointed dolls and their paraphernalia, these spaces have a life and represent a select individual’s position within the wider society. David showed at the Venice Biennale in 2019 and had the inagural solo show at the newly reopened Whitaker Gallery in Rossendale in 2021. He is also the co-founder of Paper Gallery in Manchester.

Jill Randall 

Jill Randall makes sculpture and installations and has exhibited her work nationally and internationally in galleries, museums and sculpture parks. She also showed at the 2019 Venice Biennale and has just returned from Germany where she was involved in an international research project in the town of Bocholt.
