The core of the exhibition is a group of paintings made from the early 1990’s up to a selection of his final key works. In this exhibition Bell’s unique paintings provide the impetus for a transcendent sound score composed by multi-instrumentalist Jamie Mills. This and the elemental energy of Bell’s work have then been used as the source inspiration for a new contemporary dance work co-choreographed and performed by Sarah Fairhall and Lois Taylor. The images, sound score and dance have been combined in a video work made by Joseph Clarke and Alban Roinard which forms a key component of the exhibition.
‘Trans-Form’ was conceived and curated by Joseph Clarke, and was first shown at Peninsula Arts in partnership with The Box, Plymouth in 2018.
