HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN This is an exhibition inspired by Anders Moseholm's thoughts and insights on the possible interactions between the works of three painters. As he put it in an initial letter to Alan Rankle explaining his ideas:

"I see a clash between your works, my colleague Søren Hagen's paintings and my work. I am thinking particularly of Søren's deserted, cool American and disturbing often magnificent works and your very English disturbing, Romantic, deserted landscapes.

I see a connection that all three artists interpret the photographic subjective, and that the subjective element enters in different ways. Søren's method is the sampling of the subject matter - it seems to be Photorealism working correctly but it is not. You bring about disruptive colour interventions to distort the images with washes and gestural strokes.

I do both. I compose / construct and seek to create a new and different motive ... as Hip-hop Music copy/paste samples an old James Brown beat and creates new music ... I use as you rough brush strokes or with a sudden colour to twist the subject.

It will be interesting to see Søren's tight and coolly methodical way of painting, along with your refined method and my trash-like method. All three of these techniques we work with, which seem to me will look right in context.

Crucially in each there is also something slipping away from view. There is always a crack in the surface of reality and that's where it happens. As in Hitchock's films where he creates a suspense within the scenery.
