Josie Jenkins and Daniel Halsall are both based at Arena Studios in the Baltic Triangle area of Liverpool. With adjacent studio spaces, the artists often work alongside each other, sharing music and conversation, including moments of feedback about the paintings they are working on.
With subject matter and styles varying, the linking of these two artists, through an exhibition of new work, leaves any real theme or concept to the imagination. The individual paintings speak for themselves against a backdrop of two artist friends who share a great respect for one another’s creations.
Jenkins will exhibit mainly large scale paintings of interior and landscape settings. With glimmers of wonder and nostalgia running through the work, there is also metaphorical meaning to be found in the imagery.
Halsall will be exhibiting a series of works exploring figurative works, along with playful artistic jams on canvas and paper.
