A Sense of Soul and Self: Jane Macartney solo show at Red Propeller Gallery

Jane MacCarntney

Jane Macartney is the artist in residence at the Red Propeller Gallery, and she’s got a solo show at the venue which manages to bring a bit of urban savvy into the middle of the Devon countryside.

Jane’s show, which features new work, is called A Sense of Soul and Self, and runs from Thursday, May 29 to Saturday, June 24

Jane says on the Red Propeller site: “These images start from a premis of a straightforward juxtaposition of visual elements, of randomness coming together to tell a story. After this instinctive creative process, what I hope to give the viewer is the space for their imagination to conjure up its own version of the story.”

The gallery itself says it has a simple formula, they ‘hunt down skilled, dedicated, unconventional artists who show a strong political, social or psychological content in their work and nail them’.
