Planted

Exhibition dates: 26 September to 12 October 2025
The FG Gallery, near Knutsford, Cheshire

This group show draws together practices that are connected through the exploration of paint, plants and landscape in one way or another.  So many painters respond to and are influenced by “growing things”, gardens, landscapes, trees, weeds in cracks and all the others of this ilk. There is something about attention within this enquiry and many more ripples to this idea: the environmental crisis, the landscape tradition in painting, the relationship between human beings and plant beings, relationship to place,  ancient practices of animism and the role of image making within these, the urban and nature, plant medicine, paint itself- historically often derived from plants, how painters are planted in our practices, how a painting practice plants us in the world……. and many more
