Mark Niehus: Different Midnights
About the event
Different Midnights is a collection of paintings, moving image and free verse that explore the various ways individuals experience solitude.
By bringing these different stories together we are reminded of our commonalities and the value of being alone, provoking us to question how do we experience solitude.
It’s 12am and each art work frames a life, sharing only the digestion of a day spent in the same city. Alone, not connected, dwelling, quietly celebrating or reconciling their lives, capturing each of their Different Midnights.
With paintings central to the exhibition, Niehus has continued to refine his creative process and elevate his work to new levels by exploring deeper still the degree that one can abstract a concept of emotion through the geometry of the human form, and still evoke the empathy and curiosity needed to enter the viewer into the lottery that is the transformative power of art.
Opening Reception: Saturday, 29th August, 2-4pm
