Don’t get too comfortable

Don’t get too comfortable escapes into a realm of imagination. There are recurring motifs – volcanoes, tents, rodeo bulls, zoos, wild animals, nature – cultured and wild, the topsy-turvy space of the picture plane. Despite its clear escapism, this imagery presents as metaphor, and speaks to experiences we all face in our lives and relationships.

Matthew and Caroline Cheyne work from their house and studio on the outskirts of Ipswich. There, domestic life and art exist almost without separation. Art in progress can be seen from the kitchen table, and this is often where it is discussed, alongside other important events and occurrences of daily life.

This is an Ipswich Art Gallery exhibition.
