Quench
6th August – 29th August 2010
This exhibition is in the Deal Hoy pub, Duke St, Deal, Kent.

Private view: friday 6th August from 7:30pm onwards – everyone welcome

Exhibition title: Quench

Artist statement: Kati Saqui
I have chosen to show my chair pieces and abstract Quench paintings because they link to this venue. These are appropriate for this venue as they refer to satisfying my thirst to paint. For me, chairs are metaphors for people. Mainly self portraits that mark different times in my life. ‘ I used to describe my work as ‘ice-cream for the eyes’.

….‘Chairs support people, they create comfort or discomfort, they should facilitate freedom of movement and encourage a variety of postures for continuous support. The discomfort can cause psychological stress.
They connect the user on one level at an intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual level….. At another level these connections can be between the structural components or functionality. Chairs also have a symbolic context, to demonstrate taste, fashion…..
…They can reveal their owners socio-political viewpoint and status’

In 2010 the Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope Gallery hosts a series of exhibitions reflecting on the venue’s name

Exhibiting artists: Jon Adams, Ros Barker, Steven Foy, Lynsey Harrison, Marinda Hudson, Nick Hughes, Nicole Mollett, Theresa Paton, Hildegard Pax, Bradley Starkey and Shelley Rose.

The exhibition is free to visitors and runs from July 22nd – September 1st
