Project Ability’s Cameron Morgan is one of 11 artists exhibiting in Tokyo as part of this exciting exhibition…
The Meeting Place of Unveiled Worlds is an exhibition in Japan curated by Jennifer Gilbert focusing on eleven artists from the UK. Across two rooms, the exhibition fuses a mix of artists working across different mediums, showcasing emerging alongside seasoned British artists including two long established in the Art Brut world, Madge Gill and Scottie Wilson. Although having passed, Madge Gill’s work is currently gaining much recognition today, following its appearance in the 2024 Venice Biennale. The first room spotlights monochrome artworks. The works of Nigel Kingsbury, Tirzah Mileham and Madge Gill focus on the female form and mark making, whilst Cathy Ward, Cara Macwilliam and Terence Wilde create wispy, ethereal, organic shapes and lines, with Wilde and Macwilliam using the medium of clay. Andrew Johnston’s love of animals appears in detailed illustrations with layered marks, as well as ceramics.
The second room pays homage to colour with bright, vivid works challenging your imagination, inviting closer inspection. Jesse James Nagel’s work is a riot of colour with many disjointed, surreal ideas mingling together, Cameron Morgan’s colourful ceramics reveals his true love of the camera, and Valerie Potter’s vibrant cross-stitch work ties together faces, animals, plants, love, and non-religious gods. Scottie Wilson’s work uses more muted shades, creating dreamlike creatures and botanical forms, representing the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Exhibiting artists: Madge Gill, Andrew Johnstone, Nigel Kingsbury, Cara Macwilliam, Tirzah Mileham, Cameron Morgan, Jesse James Nagel, Valerie Potter, Cathy Ward, Terence Wilde, and Scottie Wilson
