The High Performance Art Gallery is pleased to introduce our current online exhibition with Shona Nunan (.nunan.artcartwright.art)
-
Pictured is 'Goddess' in pastel on paper.
-
The show presents a large group of sculptures along with her dynamic drawings in the context of her studio in the Côte d'Azur region of France.
-
The exhibition entitled 'An ode to life' will be showing online and across our social media channels until July 2nd and can be viewed at www.highperformanceart.org.uk
-
A catalogue with prices for all artworks can be sent on request (Please contact: [email protected] for further details)
-
Shona Nunan's artworks resonate with joyous freedom. They are both unbridled expressions of the strength of the female form and at the same time meticulously refined and highly crafted works that speak to decades of commitment to one's craft.
-
Her figures stand proud as guardians and protectors, supporting all those around them whilst charting their own path through life.
'Spirit Guardian' and 'Two Earth Guardians' depict an organic interplay of human form and wrapped cloak-like shields that resemble sections of age-old trees or slices of unearthed strata. They sit somewhere between human figures and rooted sentinels of the natural realm. 'Life' is a freely flowing curvilinear form that invites parallels to enriching root systems, spiraling cosmos' and the beautiful child-like simplicity of a hand drawn line.
-
Shona's art is an ode to life itself.

-
As with her sculptures, Shona's delicate yet dense pastel on paper drawings are alive with an energy that pulses from deep within. In 'Night Sky' a vessel-like form ripples and quivers emitting a fantastic white glow while endless spiraling lines dance around it. Undulating shapes hewn from a meditative repetition of line induce a sense of wonderment, drawing in and guiding ones gaze.

-
Shona's horses, both with and without their riders, project a nobility and grace that speaks to a rare and intuitive understanding of subject borne by the artist. These are not direct depictions but impressions of untethered beings with the freedom to roam, explore, and be at one with the land. They are instantly recognisable yet somehow fluid, as if they are an amalgamation of a thousand different singular viewpoints, seen through the eyes of young and old alike, brought together as one.

Shona Nunan has said that her inspiration comes from ancient cultures and notes the “simplicity of the language that I sometimes see there”. This simplicity of form is very much present and reflected in Shona’s work. However, what is projected to the viewer is a purity of form and the artists’ intimate knowledge of how line and scale can stir the most profound of emotional responses.
-
In creating these forms, Shona is crafting a language, one that is continually evolving and finding new paths. In this language, unique to the artist, we see echoes of her deep interest in the cultural practices and learnings of others. Her sculptures are both contemplators and joyous beings of strength and resolve. They beckon us with a gaze that speaks of the past while being firmly rooted in the present.
-
Born in 1959, Shona lives and works between Tuscany and Provence. She is a member of the Royal Sculpture Society and has exhibited extensively in Australia, Italy, France, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Germany. She has artworks in the collections of Swire property group, BNP Paribus, Four Seasons hotels, Sydney University, and the Al Muhaidib headquarters in Damman, Saudi Arabia.
