Wave/Particle

DUNCAN HOPKINS

Light can be explained as behaving both as a wave and as a particle. This exhibition features new and existing paintings and drawings that incorporate these ideas through observational studies of the sea, water, coastline, landscape, and organic abstraction.

The work is a celebration of the coast and land with its varied elemental qualities, and engages with concepts of chaos, complexity, tranquillity, perception and metaphor. The work is produced through observation and the intuitive creative process.

Duncan Hopkins lives and works in Bideford, North Devon and has been... more

Artist's Wall Exhibition

Anne Dennehy

Some decades ago I was living in Hong Kong.  It was here that I met a very strict, but wonderful Chinese art teacher.  I moved to Devon, about four years ago, to live in a bungalow after many years of ill health.   The Rheumatology Dept. diagnosed the “disease with a thousand faces”, Lupus.  Thanks to rheumatology (NDDH), the rheumatology O.T. and the physiotherapist at Bideford Hospital plus my GP at Bideford, I once again paint on my good days.

I have put on joint exhibitions in Hong Kong, America and England, then a number of solo exhibitions, at St George’s Hall, Bristol and in... more

Valerie Barden and Robert Organ

Tues /Sat 10am - 5pm

Robert Organ and Valerie Barden have exhibited widely over many years although rarely together, despite having been married for almost 60 years. They moved from East to North Devon a few years ago and this is their first show locally.

R.O.     For me, the essential problems of painting remain, as I believe they always were: the reconciliation of the illusion of reality and the ordering of the flat surface.
V.B.      And for me, similarly, the problems of rendering the world around me into a designed pictorial form.
