Neil Haddon
Migratory Aesthetics: Waymarking / Painting / Undertow
Bett Gallery
2 August - 24 August 2024
In this exhibition, the artist delves into his personal biography, exploring the legacy of his migration to lutruwita/Tasmania and encounters with artworks that have marked his journey from the UK, through Spain and New York, to Tasmania.
His paintings intertwine threads from a painting by Paul Gauguin, a landscape by John Glover, engravings by Gustave Doré, snippets of text by H.G. Wells, and references to early colonial figure John Kelly, along with anecdotes from his life in the UK and Tasmania.
Migration is a complex phenomenon involving negotiations of identity, belonging, and spatial dynamics. Haddon's artwork exemplifies migratory experiences, merging past and present temporalities to create a poignant manifestation of displacement and settlement.
His technique spans hard-edged abstraction to loose expression, finely rendered figurative detail to bold text, utilizing a variety of painterly applications and materials.
Haddon's paintings offer insights into migratory experiences and the histories of lutruwita/Tasmania, depicting a place still in formation, whose geographies and views are yet to be fully discovered.

Thanks for the video 🙏🏼🤍
Awesome Artwork!!!. Congratulations, Tim, your Art is marvelous. Greetings from Xalapa, Veracruz in México.
Truly contemplative work. Reminds me somewhat of a painting my father had bought years ago by Joseph Rustling Meeker. He seemed to be enthralled with atmosphere, also.

UFO's aren't fantasies or escapism. If you've seen one, you never forget and the many related phenomena such as cattle mutilations, crop circles, abductions, missing time and so on are surely evidence that only adds credibility to the thousands of images that exist. Of course there are many fake photos but think about the sheer volume of existing documentation and the much greater number of undocumented sightings.
