Topolewski’s on-going exploration is the role of image making in the contemporary world. Recognising that computers, mobile phones and digital photography have rapidly changed the way we produce and receive images, Topolewski’s interest lies in the role of the painting and the painter within this. For Goodyear, it is the medium of drawing that is her field of enquiry. Considered by the artist as being at the core of her practice, Goodyear’s drawings have in recent years begun to move off the page into animation and sculpture.  This dynamic juxtaposition of content and form coheres around the artists’ shared interest in questioning the boundaries of their chosen traditional mediums and in their mature technique.

Our participation in VOLTA 9 and Rachel Goodyear’s solo show, Artificial Night are generously supported by The International 3’s newly appointed Founder Patrons and by Arts Council of England’s Catalyst match-funding scheme.  The International 3’s Founder Patrons’ are: Dr. Sezgin Ismail, Jo & Allan Melzack, Bob & Hazel Miller, Martyn & Valerie Torevell, and those that wish to remain anonymous.
