Oliver Dorrell - Walking After Bruegel: Paintings from Mountain Huts
25 April - 19 May
Oliver Dorrell's paintings are made on long walksOn these walks, he carries sized silk, a collapsible stretcher frame, gum arabic and dry pigment so he can set up temporary studios in mountain huts, shelters, barns or on picnic benchesOften, the walks link two cities across a wilderness and are prompted by art history or literatureFor example, in October and November 2022, he walked across the Alps from Milan to MunichIt was a walk inspired by the Alpine journey Bruegel made in 1554
Having set up a temporary studio, his intention might be to paint something he'd seen or felt along the way; like the lonely feeling of being watched by a chamois; or the futuristic elegance of a flyover plugging into a mountain side tunnel; or an absent glacier; or the sensation of rain from under an umbrellaThe intention, however, has to compete with the restrictions caused by weather - this could be the cold, or a blizzard forecast - and the exertion of walking through the landscapes, and the action of folding, carrying and re-stretching the silk support, as well as the awkwardness of making watercolours from dry pigment and silkThese antagonistic things resolve into spontaneous paintings, creased and worn by their travels, and which, framed behind glass after his walk, become fragile artifacts to the physical, more primordial way of understanding our modern world through traveling on foot
