Fleeting Permanence
May 24 – June 30, 2023 at TM Gallery
We are pleased to welcome Carrie Jean Goldsmith to TM Gallery for an exhibition centring on the wonder of paint, texture and light, entitled ‘Fleeting Permanence’. The show will open with a private view on 24 May and then will run until 30 June.
The show’s title, ‘Fleeting Permanence’, may initially sound like an oxymoron but in fact perfectly describes the fleeting nature of expressionistic painting. Goldsmith’s abstracted landscapes in natural tones are built from initial decisions of format, scale and palette, before leading into inevitable morphing of strokes. Her exploratory edges lead into gestural marks that are made, then sometimes wiped away. New paintings often form on top of original ideas, yet some phantom glimpses of previous forms may creep through, providing nuances that could never be planned.
‘Fleeting Permanence’ presents the full fervour of Goldsmith’s latest explorations and conclusions in paint, revealing the results of enabling the planned and unplanned to come together in harmony. The deep tones of brown, green, grey and blue that are often found in Goldsmith’s work require careful lighting to reveal their full power to the audience.
We utilise our state-of-the-art TM GalleryOneThirty (G130) spotlights to bring each work ‘to light’ singularly, yet keeping part of a consistent lighting scheme for the entire show. Using the correct colour temperature, how cool or warm a light source is, enables the colour palette in each work to be truly revealed. The exhibition private view on 24 May will be hosted by TM Lighting’s founders Harry Triggs and Andrew Molyneux, in the presence of the artist. Drinks and nibbles will be served.
The exhibition will run from May 24th until June 30th. If you would like to visit the exhibition outside of the Private View, please contact TM Lighting to book an appointment.
