Land of Light - Dominic Pote - Exhibition

Exhibition: January 29th - March 8th at Brewery Arts Centre, Cumbria, UK

"For over ten years Dominic Pote has been working with a unique photographic process, making large-scale panoramic images. Working somewhere between the film maker and the still photographer, his exposures last for as long as he keeps moving. Framed by the physical act of walking his images are both literal and metaphorical journeys, movements through space so that there remains something of the organic feel of their making. This exhibition presents a selection of his landscape works from over the years."

Goscote Monumental Art Project

Goscote Monumental Art Project

I have been appointed as the 2D artist for the Goscote Monumental Art Project, a year long project to make artwork for the Goscote Palliative Care Centre in Walsall.I will be working with the Walsall Creative Development Team and patients and local school groups in making a collection of large scale works for the interior of the new centre. I will be working along side the appointed 3D artist Tim Ward, Stained Glass artist Sasha Ward and the photographer Ming de Nasty. The project begins in November 2009 and the final works are due to be installed in October 2010.

There is a blog set up for the project which can be seen at:

Dominic Pote, Land of Light @ The Yard Gallery at Wollaton Hall

Dominic Pote, Land of Light @ The Yard Gallery at Wollaton Hall

Set in the charming surroundings of Wollaton Park, the Yard Gallery provides an ideal location for an exhibition that acknowledges both the beauty of nature and its cohesion with a man-made landscape. Dominic Pote’s photographs are like a collection of memories captured onto canvas.

The former Nottingham Trent photography student achieves this effect by moving whilst capturing the image and exposing the film, creating a hazy, dream-like quality that is anything but a typical static photographic image. It is as your eye would take in the scene; a swift movement of colours and shapes, blended together as if created with water colours rather than film.

Pote mainly chooses landscapes characterised by boundaries, whether land and water or urban and rural, which were then allowed to bleed into one another, blurring the distinction. The locations vary from mountain ranges in Turkey to canals in Venice, but all manage to capture the sense of movement and flux. His photographs of a wood in Wiltshire were particularly effective, and are dizzily reminiscent of running through trees watching them streak past you.

19th September – 7th October 2009
11am – 5pm FREE ENTRY

Dominic Pote has been working with a unique photographic process, making large-scale panoramic images for over ten years now. Working somewhere between the film maker and the still photographer, his exposures last for a long as he keeps moving. Framed by the physical act of walking his images are both literal and metaphorical journeys, movements through space so that there remains something of the organic feel of their making. This exhibition will be showcasing a selection of his landscape works taken from all over England that offer an interesting perspective on the relationship between the artist, the subject matter and time itself.

He has worked and exhibited all over the world, including a residency at Experian offices in Nottingham where he accompanied staff members on their journeys to work to take photographs based on their observations. His photographs include scenes at Attenborough, the Trent Embankment and Radcliffe on Trent.

He says: “I wanted to portray the notion of the "missed landscape", that which is experienced only on the peripherals of vision, as one is travelling.”

Cllr DaveTrimble, Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio holder for Leisure, Culture and Customers, said:

“Dominic’s work with Experian gives this exhibition a particular local relevance.”
