Bill Armstrong: Light Form

Exhibition: 27th September - 23rd November

Artist's Reception: 11th October, 5-8pm

HackelBury is pleased to present Light Form, a solo exhibition by Bill Armstrong.

Bill Armstrong (American b.1952) is renowned for his distinctive technique of photographing collages, creating an illusionary effect that blurs the line between reality and artistic construction. His process subjects the images to a series of manipulations including photocopying, cutting, painting and re-photographing that transform the originals and gives them a new meaning and context. This approach allows Armstrong to explore themes of impermanence, abstraction and the boundaries of visual perception.

  

Armstrong explores the boundaries of the visible edge to create ethereal and dreamlike images. Light Form further delves into his fascination with impermanence and abstraction, creating otherworldly compositions which encourage viewers to contemplate their own reality.

“Extreme de-focusing enables me to blend and distil hues, creating rhapsodies of colour that are meditative pieces—glimpses into a space of pure colour, beyond our focus, beyond our ken."

The exhibition includes abstract works from Armstrong’s Mandalas, Blue Spheres, and Darshan series, which reference Eastern philosophy and spirituality.
