Spring Show 2015

 We're very excited to be moving into the busy Easter period with our annual 'Spring Show'. The mixed exhibition will feature work by eight established British painters: Andrew Bird, Angela Charles, Freya Horsley, Arthur Lanyon, Joanne Last, Alex Morton, Martyn Perryman and Kathy Ramsay Carr.

Thick as Thieves - Arthur Lanyon

Banjo - Arthur Lanyon

 Highlights include the powerful abstracts of Penzance-based Arthur Lanyon. One of the finest up-and-coming artists working in Cornwall, Arthur comes from a dynasty of painters: the son of the eminent artist Matthew Lanyon and grandson of the great Peter Lanyon. His work captures an essence of realism without wanting the pieces to ‘vanish into recognition’, grappling with the question ‘how do you paint figuratively but subvert a traditional representation?’

How I Saw it - Angela Charles

Undercurrent - Angela Charles

Also highly anticipated will be the new collection of Angela Charles’ evocative, Cornwall-inspired paintings on aluminum panels.  Her works evolve from rudimentary pen sketches and even written notes, describing the landscape, the light and the sea.‘Through areas of calm and yet moments of frantic mark making, the resulting paints reveal my sense of awe at the South West coast’. Angela isn’t afraid to reference other artists in her work, citing the great St Ives artist Roger Hilton as a major influence.

Fathom - Freya Horsley

Point - Freya Horsley

Additional new works include the bold and expressive landscapes of Kathy Ramsay Carr and the atmospheric and encapsulating landscapes of Freya Horsley. The exhibition will also continue to show the work of Andrew Bird, Joanne Last, Alex Morton and Martyn Perryman who all enjoy their second shows with the gallery in 2015.

Voicing the Wind - Kathy Ramsay Carr

Surfacing - Kathy Ramsay Carr
