Form and Substance

Overview

In a physical sense, form and substance makes up us all. Neutrons, protons and electrons become atoms, which become molecules, which become cells, which form tissues, which might group to become a follicle, to make a hair, to make a mullet. But in an existential sense, form and substance is something you can’t be born with, touch, or hide under a do-rag – it comes with life, pain, stories and relationships.

The perfect encapsulation of what form and substance might entail, is featured at Alex Seton’s newly curated exhibit Form and Substance. It’s not all nice, but then neither is life. And some of it is uncomfortable, but not in a sense that’s esoteric. It strays in form, with paintings, sculptures and inanimate features making up the exhibition.

All of the pieces are for sale so if you’ve got a mantelpiece that’s lacking a bit of emotional substance, this is your chance to indulge in a little artistic form.
