Town Hall Gallery presents a major exhibition exploring the intentions and motivations of artists who continually engage a theme, subject, or visual style throughout their creative process. Expressed through purposeful and continued use of colour and form, pattern and repetition, motif and subject, ‘Pattern Recognition’ features six artists who dedicate their practice to exploring and evolving a particular concept, or an enduring preoccupation. The human brain’s ability to identify patterns and repeat symbols allows us to visually match what we see with the information we already know, finding structure, cementing knowledge, and gaining further understanding. The allure of returning to, reconsidering, or reframing our understanding speaks to our mind’s ability to interrogate and innovate. Dynamic and at times hypnotic, this exhibition unpacks the complexities and depths, the symbols and stories, and the beauty found in the persistent exploration of a distinct visual codes. New works by Emma Coulter, Chaco Kato and Casey Jeffery have been commissioned by Town Hall Gallery for ‘Pattern Recognition’, including ambitious, temporary site-specific installations by Emma Coulter and Chaco Kato. ‘Pattern Recognition’ features the work of: Emma Coulter, Casey Jeffery, Chaco Kato, Jenna Lee, Kent Morris, and Esther Stewart.
