This exhibition conveys Bayliss Brown’s concern of the relationship between mankind and the natural world expressed through his wide ranging interests, including the history of painting, theology, extinction, human behaviour & existentialism: these themes are explored by the juxtaposition of mathematics and philosophy, through works created using a variety of media.
Thus,iū̆xtā [ancient Latin for "beside, very near, close to, near at hand"], seeks to articulate these complex ideas and to challenge the observer to question the relationship between the temporary physical and spiritual presence of Homo sapiens and the greater more enduring natural world.
Spirituality and science are intertwined, for instance in the exploration of repeating patterns in nature. Philip also uses pictorial metaphors including fragmented supports to express physical and societal delicacy and other symbols, such as coral, referencing the vulnerability of the earth.
This exhibition is both a retrospective of the artist’s exploration of techniques and ideas; and a premier of his contemporary activity.
