Cirrus: On Landscape

Centering on perceptions of the world around us, ‘Cirrus: On Landscape’, at NISO, is a group show placing in dialogue emerging and historical artists, spanning Europe to Latin America and Asia. Taking its cue from a type of cloud - cirrus, a wispy genus that is distinctive for its movement and shifting - the exhibition, curated by Jenn Ellis, explores forms of landscape painting. Pointing to the evolving nature of our perceptions, the exhibition explores the tradition from art historical approaches at different points in time to distinctive geographic vantage points. Drawing connections between more descriptive or precise articulations over to more emotionally-inclined interpretations of the natural environment, ‘Cirrus: On Landscape’ investigates how landscapes - as we see or remember it - have inspired artists across centuries and continents. Including works by Jamiu Agboke, Alexandre Calame, Pierre-Athanase Chauvin, Francesco Cima, Janus La Cour, Katy Moran, Sawako Nasu, SALVO, Ulf Saupe, Alexandre Wagner and José Antonio da Silva, the exhibition poses itself as a pan-temporal contemplation of the observed, felt and interpreted world around us.
