One of a series of exhibitions focusing on traditional artistic genres. Landscape draws predominantly from works recently acquired for the British Council Collection, and provides an opportunity to examine the enduring interest shown by contemporary British artists in the richness and complexity of the landscape tradition in art.
The exhibition explores altered perceptions of nature and the greatly extended subject matter associated with the landscape genre. The conventional topographic view and pastoral scene have evolved to include urban and fictional environments while the influence of recent movements in 20th century art have broadened the means of representation. The classical perspective and approaches relating to the Romantic tradition are re-evaluated alongside views from an aerial perspective, from a car or train window or focused in the filmic close-up. The range of strategies of recording and representing real, imagined, or remembered scenes employ a variety of media including sound, text, projections and video as well as photography and realist or abstract painting and sculpture.
Artists included are:
Mat Collishaw, Keith Coventry, Tacita Dean, Willie Doherty, Peter Doig, Siobhan Hapaska, Tania Kovats, Rachel Lowe, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Chad McCail, Mariele Neudecker, Paul Noble, Julian Opie, Michael Raedecker, David Rayson, David Shrigley, Ross Sinclair, Bob and Roberta Smith, Wolfgang Tillmans and Paul Winstanley.
