Hope triumphs over adversity

Ruth Bateman

‘I believe in Hope, in unity. I paint intuitively and with expression’  

Ruth has a primal connection to wilderness. She explores the landscape with her body: rock-climbing, mountaineering, cycling, feeling the earth rumble through her. This bodily experience of landscape is reflected in the kinetic way Ruth creates her paintings.

Artist's Wall

Graham Fish

 

We are exhibiting a biro drawing by Graham which will take up the whole of the artist's wall. It took him 7months and used up 18 biros. He says “I like drawing and began using biro by accident one family holiday. Over the years the drawings have increased in size just to add to the challenge.”

Transient Tales

George Rayner

A collection of black and white film photographic prints by local North Devon artist George Rayner. This collection showcases Rayner's formative years as an artist, with a focus on themes of melancholy dreams. Often exploring his relationship with the environment through materialistic allegory in quiet landscapes with a gentle humour, while finding solace and serenity  amidst the chaos of existence, through composition, light, and negative space. Rayner creates a sense of stillness that encourages contemplation,  inviting viewers to delve into their own introspective landscapes. This... more

the foot sinks into it

Erika Cann, Millie Laing-Tate and Laura Robertson

Erika Cann, Millie Laing-Tate and Laura Robertson bring their art practices together through a shared language which investigates our human relationship with the environment. Their trio exhibition, the foot sinks into it, has emerged from conversations about the fluidity of geology and the space in-between.

Both within their studios and outside in changing landscapes, the three artists explore movement, structural rigidity and the porosity of boundaries. Interactions within the ecosystem correspond to bodies and modes of making as materials intersect, squish, fold and touch... more
