Double Vision:  A Unified Exploration of the Subconscious

A collaboration between Stuart Catley and Stuart MacKay

​

5th April - 26th April​

 

Welcome to "Double Vision a captivating exhibition featuring the works of artists Stuart MacKay and Stuart Catley, which invites viewers on a profound journey into the depths of the subconscious. Drawing inspiration from Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious, both artists unveil timeless archetypes—such as the mother, the hero, and the anima—that shape our shared human experience.

MacKay’s artistry engages with a vibrant interplay of colour, form, and symbolism, transforming each painting into a portal for introspection. His canvases pulsate with the energy of universal narratives, encouraging viewers to reflect on their inner landscapes.

Similarly, Catley’s work reflects his unique artistic evolution, shaped by diverse experiences from storyboarding to commissioned miniature painting. Fuelled by a passion for self-expression despite early scepticism from formal education, he celebrates the complexities of human consciousness through intricate details and sweeping forms. Each piece in his collection serves as a mirror, prompting personal reflection on the interplay between realism and abstraction.

Together, MacKay and Catley create a cohesive dialogue that highlights the interconnectedness of human experiences, reminding us that our individual stories are threads in the larger tapestry of humanity. As you explore their works, may you be inspired to reflect on the unseen forces shaping your own narrative and embrace art's limitless potential for insight and connection.
