On view at Hales London | Carole Gibbons, Of Silence and Slow Time
Hales is delighted to present Of Silence and Slow Time, a solo exhibition by Carole Gibbons. Her debut show at the gallery exhibits still life paintings spanning a ten-year period from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s. The show at Hales London follows on from Gibbons' inclusion in Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990, which originated at Tate Britain and tours to National Galleries Scotland (25 May 2024-26 Jan 2025), as well as Gibbons' first solo exhibition in the US at White Columns, New York.
For over six decades, Gibbons has cultivated a distinctive painting practice rich with resonant colour, symbolism and a striking painterly language. The body of works in Of Silence and Slow Time mark a shift in Gibbons practice from earlier mythopoetic landscapes to painting still lifes, which she continues to explore to this day. Mythology remains in the everyday scenes, weaving in the epic through the staging of meaningful objects, sculptures, and referential books. In these deeply personal paintings, art historical references and classic painterly themes are combined with Gibbons' lived experiences.
