The Impulse Movement - Artist Collective
Welcome to The Impulse Movement! We are an artist led collective putting on exhibitions in the UK and virtually. Co-founded by Ella Shepard @ellashepardart and Charmagne Coble @coblefinearts The Impulse Movement aims to help bring early to mid career artists together and launch their work in to the public realm. Making the most of the digital technology available, they set out to create a community of artists which do not need to pay submission fees or lose a percentage of sales as artists usually do with a gallery or open call.
As lockdown was announced Charmagne and Ella decided to team up to set up a collective and exhibition, to be released whilst everything exists in the digital rather than the physical. Art is something that can be used to express feelings surrounding a specific event and the artwork itself becomes a memory, forever documenting a period in time. Both Charmagne and Ella’s artistic practices explore themes of the psychological and the unseen and they are interested in ideas of time and memory through abstraction and figurative realism.
Unmasked Exhibition
With the Covid-19 pandemic provoking various unsettling anxieties surrounding, healthcare, isolation and mental health the artists in The Impulse Movement’s first exhibition ‘Unmasked’ will be exploring themes and concepts linked with these unprecedented times.
The dates for ‘Unmasked’ will be released shortly and if you’re interested in joining our mailing list please send an email to theimpulsemovement2020@gmail.com
