Current Exhibition

'Interlude'

a curated show of paintings and ceramics selected from our group of artists

Jacqui Colley, David Ryan, Bridget Bidwill, Janet Perrior, Stan Bowski, Kathaleen Bartha, Polly Gilroy, Aaron Scythe

14 November - 6 December 

There is a definite leaning to the abstract with works that use texture to great effect.  Janet Perrior's work with shredded envelopes give the impression from a distance of tufts of carpet.  Both David Ryan and Jacqui Colley's expressive paintings are lively with layers of sumptuous oil paint.  Polly Gilroy's use of silk stretched over pine gives translucency and depth.  Bridget Bidwill uses a variety of textures in the surface of her paintings which encourage the viewer to think of the feel of stone, ceramics and nature.  Kathaleen Bartha creates layers with a variety of materials and leaves the content of her surfaces purposely pared back.  Stan Bowski is the opposite, choosing to create a flat, matte finish in his minimal work.  Aaron Scythe's ceramics encourage us to hold them and enjoy the smoothness of the porcelain and the robust feel of earthenware.  

There is no opening for this salon so please visit at your leisure.
