Contemporary Sculpture Exhibition
This exhibition showcases sculptural techniques and processes and will include works that show evidence of the ‘maker’ or artist’s hand. Craftsmanship is an increasingly unfashionable term for artists, however, this exhibition will present works by contemporary practitioners who are concerned with the process and craft of art making as much as with the concept they wish to convey. Artists may directly or indirectly explore contemporary themes about the world we live in and role of the artist within this.
Exhibition Opening, 6pm Friday, 30th August
Scarlet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Violet Anna White.
Exhibition Opening 6pm, Friday, 4th October
A dynamic series of oil paintings on perspex investigating colour, light, abstraction, landscape and the space of the picture. An investigation into how movement and place can be portrayed in paint.
