Christopher Jewitt moves between both worlds — sometimes anchoring a canvas in tight, controlled detail and other times letting large, solid forms take over. His work creates a dialogue between the meticulous and the bold, acting as a conceptual and visual bridge between the other two approaches.Jewitt’s work has an unwavering and captivating aesthetic — his expressive mark making and voltaic saturations of colour.
Jewitt’s paintings are both cultivated and voluptuous. Yet these works are more than just a celebration of colour and pattern: they’re a celebration of life itself, in all its confusion. Jewitt encourages us to re-learn the act of seeing and to view paintings in a way that delves beneath the canvas, into the worlds of introspection and interpretation.
While Jewitt’s work is peppered with visual narratives of tragedy or celebration, he acknowledges the aesthetic charm of his work. With zigzags layered upon swirls and lines overlapping dots, his work creates both a sense of stability and of uncertainty: the moment we find ourselves, we are instantly lost again.
In ‘A Gentle Unfolding’, four distinct artistic voices come together to explore the delicate balance between precision and expression, intricacy and openness. The exhibition invites viewers into a gradual and contemplative experience: a slow reveal, or unfolding, of complexity, emotion, and connection across differing artistic approaches and colour fields.
Together, Sarah Darling, Clare Dubina, Jordy Hewitt and Christopher Jewitt demonstrate that this unfolding, whether of perception, form, or meaning, is not always immediate. The colour-filled, jewel-esque works within the exhibition move through a spectrum of visual languages — from the intimate to the expansive — where detail and abstraction do not oppose, but rather inform and elevate each other.
