‘it should be noted that liminal space aesthetics have expanded in scope to include images of places that are simply nostalgic, dreamlike, and/or uncanny, to the point where the only remaining common trait across these ramifications is the striking absence of people. Although these are an incorporated part of the liminal space aesthetic, they are not considered as liminal spaces themselves.’ Before I painted the larger work ‘Nobody’s Watching’, ( image 2), I painted a number of smaller paintings of empty seats in cinemas and theatres. For me the light falling on the seats is like the presence of the people once there. It is like their ‘souls’, or at least the memories of them remain. These two paintings will be in my Solo exhibition at Blue Shop Gallery @blueshopcottage in London.
