THE SWINLEY GROUP
Statement
The Swinley Group is an Art movement formed in 2017 by 3 artists (one an ex practitioner), which will be organising a series of exhibitions which give opportunity to the many painters and sculptors who have seen their work constantly rejected, not because it lacks technical ability or substance, but because of the many trendy, fashion following curators of our galleries who deem it unfashionable or not “innovative” enough.
Our exhibitions will seek to restore at least some of the balance in favour of artists who are unable to get their work exhibited. We do not intend it to be an open door to mediocrity and kitsch, but will set high standards of criteria before any works are considered. It will be judged by a panel of experts with experience in both practice and theory.
Our criteria for judging paintings and sculpture are:
1. The work must demonstrate a high degree of technical ability and skill.
2. It must be representative and figurative. No abstract or “conceptual” work will be considered.
3. Media used must be fairly traditional e.g. oils, watercolours, acrylics, tempera, drawing media such as pastels, pen & ink, and for sculpture it must involve direct working by the artist.
3. It must be the work of the artist, no collaboration is permitted.
4. Size limitations will be determined by the organisers for each exhibition.
