Private View | Niki Hare: Which Way You Look At It

Join us for the private view of our upcoming exhibition ‘Niki Hare: Which Way You Look At It’

Felstead Art is pleased to present Which Way You Look At It, a solo collection of wordpaintings by Niki Hare. These striking typographical artworks act as dialogues, exploring ideas of poetry, perception, and interpretation.

By approaching painting as a language, Niki overlaps layers of thoughts and words, creating an ongoing text that is continuously painted over, each new layer hiding and obscuring the previous. Acting as a form of personal visual diary for Niki, each work depicts her emotions at any given time. She often layers words over her pieces so she doesn’t feel as exposed and vulnerable.

Niki’s wordpaintings encourage the viewer to investigate, to try to read and interpret in their own way. They incite projection and reflection of the viewers own emotions as they interpret the text.
