Calendar

Emma Green
Oil paint layered, worked and scratched contributes to vivid abstractions of the Suffolk rural and coastal area where Emma lives.

Watercolours and oils are used freely to capture the essence of place, season and light. Tracey
has had solo exhibitions in Colchester and London

Images of the private view are posted here.

20 MAY - 8 JUNE
David Burns
David says "…a sequence of actions producing an image….Layers consist of slender lines of paint that cross and re-cross the surface."

Joan Murray
After some years as a ceramicist, Joan is now refocusing on mixed media drawings. They are an exploration of marks, fragile and ambiguous, made on white space.

Robert Steerwood
Dense and complex abstracts are created on roughly torn assemblages of re-cycled canvas. Deep and bright colours, poured and dripped, react with the surfaces.

10 - 29 JUNE
Valerie Armstrong
Influences from ancient theatre, the Middle East, poetry, have given Valerie's image-making a dimension of fantasy in painting and prints, figurative and abstract.
Valerie has her own website which can be seen here.

Ray Burgoyne
Minimalist, simple forms with strong colour;
underpainting and line are important elements.

Jazz Green
Mixed media - plaster, soil, varnish, dry pigments - explore subtleties of patina and erosion. Structures of decay become evocative, gentle and graceful.

Jazz has her own website

22 JULY - 10 AUGUST
Hayley Field
With a figurative starting-point the paintings, oil on board, are worked in thin multiple layers reflecting landscape. The results are often exuberant abstractions.

James Fletcher
The Gallery is very pleased to be able to show this special exhibition, entitled Children of the Revolution. James' remarkable photographs give us a poignant glimpse into the lives of poor people of Romania 15 years on. Part of this collection shows a charity for young mothers and babies.

Andrew Taylor
Mixed media work is inspired by literature and music as well as visual sources, using a wide range of materials to create multi-layered collages. Images and motifs occur.

Liz Waugh McManus
Having shown her glass sculpture in the Open Exhibition, Liz now presents new work inspired by the structure and symbolism of plants. The cast glass is combined with other materials.

2 - 14 SEPTEMBER
Coco Crampton
Coco explores issues surrounding urban planning, ethics and the environment, resulting in verdant botanical installations and formalist painting. Her works in a gallery space can highlight the issues and raise questions.

Jack Crampton
Describing his abstract work, Jack says "In these paintings form, bred from the raw materials of process and serendipity, is turned inside out by perverse games of chance….. The unforeseen comes to light."

Tom Davey
"A passion for painting and drawing" has led Tom to portraiture - the paintings are a combination of real and imagined subjects. This is his first exhibition.

16 - 28 SEPTEMBER
