REALITY : Modern and Contemporary British Painting at The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool;
10 Jul 2015 – 29 Nov 2015
“Within the Art World the nude has become ‘The Body’ with considerable focus on discoveries made by medical science. Photography, finally accepted as a fully fledged art form, has led the way, but, most notably in late 20th Century London, painters such as Bacon, Freud, Hockney, Kitaj and Auerbach found extraordinary things to say about the nude, and now, in the early 21st Century, two of the most prominent painters of the female body are women: Gwen Hardie and Jenny Saville, whose intensely personal identification with the subject began in the Life Classes of Edinburgh College of Art and Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s.”

The 33 artists represented – major 20th Century figures such as Walter Sickert, Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud and David Hockney, alongside contemporary painters including Ken Currie, Gwen Hardie, George Shaw, Jenny Saville and Caroline Walker – tackle subjects ranging from the body to relationships, from history and politics to war, and from social issues to the urban environment“…

“Borderline, Depictions of Skin”
March 28 – April 27 2013
Photo by Susan Alzner
“…Hardie’s oil painting lends itself perfectly as a blurred or refracted surface like light dappling a beautiful landscape. It is like a veil waiting to be torn so you can see what’s behind the gossamer layer…” see full Review by Oscar A. Laluyan in Artefuse on 04/01/2013.
“…Hardie is able to evoke that surface with enough skill to suggest touch…One can look at a small corner of a representational image now and see an area that would blossom someday into a full-blown painting of its own. Hardie’s work brings those worlds together on a single canvas…” see full Review by Susan Silas in Hyperallergic, 04/ 08/2013
“Borderline focuses on three artists’ unique perspectives of skin, and the role it plays as a sometimes sensory, sometimes literal “border” between the inner and outer realms. The works on exhibit present a duality of beauty and unease through an intimate examination of skin in different manifestations–a resilient organ, a beautiful translucent membrane, or a means for physical and psychological connection. In these highly detailed images, focus is often obscured at first glance, allowing an initial veneration of pure aesthetics prior to the revelation of the subject and the viewer’s uncomfortable proximity to it. Borderline aims to reveal varied perceptions of skin and question the relationship to the subject.”

“The paintings embody a spatial conundrum: how to translate the curve of the body and the depth of tissue matter beneath the skin onto the flat canvas without losing either the complexity or the play of limits which is formed in their interrelationship.”

“Skin ; An Artistic Atlas”
March 15 – May 28 2013
The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, March 15th – May 28th – representations of Skin in contemporary art with John Coplans, Jeanne Silverthorne, Marlene Dumas, Shirin Neshat, Spencer Tunick, Cara Phillips and others.
The exhibition, SKIN – an artistic atlas, curated by the Director of the Royal Hibernian Academy, Patrick T. Murphy, touches on some of the most dominant themes that skin invokes, such as race, gender, age, decay, disease, texture, identity, eroticism, race, adornment and display. Ranging through photography, painting and video it promises to be a challenging and stimulating exhibition.

“TERRA INCOGNITA”
Castle Gallery, New Rochelle, New York
January 29th – March 31st 2013
Click here for New York Times review; “Skin and Earth, Suddenly Unrecognizable”
Terra Incognita presents the work of nine artists who are interested in the connection between physical and psychological spaces; many through spacescapes, cityscapes, landscapes, and bodyscapes. Form and scale are cleverly manipulated to suggest connections between macro and micro, the individual and the collective, the specific and the universal. The work encourages us to consider our own limitations as individuals and the possibility of transcendence through discovery, contemplation, and interconnection.

SCOTTISH ART BLOG, AUGUST 9TH, 2012
“… through careful articulation of light passing over skin, Hardie creates the sense that the body represented is moving by the static window which you are gazing through. Blood seems to rush and goose bumps appear to form – this demonstrates Hardie to be a painter who profoundly understands the purpose of her medium.” Fern Insh, August 9th 2012
