With every mark, dab and daub, the artists in Wagner Contemporary’s exhibition, ‘The Feeling of Being Inside’, express the ineffable, the tangible, and the transcendent. The exhibited artists, Al Poulet, Minnie Pwerle (c.1922-2006), Genevieve Carroll, and Judith White, all approach painting from different directions; however, they all share in a common language – that of abstraction. The exhibition presents works of art that are at once related and dissonant, as some exude visceral spontaneity while others reflect a more considered cerebral approach. Ultimately, we find the richness of abstraction in the four artists’ painted descriptions of place.
