May 8 - 26
Jamie Andrews
He explores the merging of small toys, silver charms and other objects with the brilliance of the paint, a mix of the childlike and sophisticated.
Won the ‘Alturnative’ Turner Prize, Liverpool 2007.
Short-listed for the National Painting Prize ’08, ’09.
Anna-Lise Horsley
“I’m intrigued by the clash of opposites”: light & shadow, liquid & smoke, seedpods & seaweed all occur in her paintings – exuberant yet delicate and flowing. Trained at Goldsmith’s College, she was also in receipt of a British Council Scholarship Award.
Marianne Koby Johnson
Softness of light and landscape and a muted palette give her work - collage and painting - a ‘weathered’ aspect. A language graduate, she turned to art later; and has exhibited widely in East Anglia and at the Mall Galleries in London.
May 29 – June 16
Anglia Potters is a 30-year-old organisation , an eclectic mix of enthusiastic amateurs and professionals from around E. Anglia, showing simple earthenware to sophisticated stoneware and raku.
Nicolina Bliss
Trained at Norwich Art School; she produces imaginative collagraphs, experimenting with marks, texture and colour in her evocative portrayal of the spirit of nature.
David Moore
Linocuts and collagraphs reflect the artist’s interest in the natural environment and climate changes. He has a background in letterpress and lithography; with no formal art training he brings a freshness to his work.
June 19 – July 7
Rita Browne
She is a member of both the Ipswich and the Suffolk Art Societies, and a pupil of Michael Norman. She uses watercolour, charcoal and pen & ink in studies of ruined buildings and delicate tree and plant forms.
Meg Browne
Studied textile and graphic design at Edinburgh College of Art, and afterwards worked as an illustrator using collage as well as drawing. For this exhibition Meg shows fabric collages.
Tony Casement
He has won wide acclaim for his luminous abstract paintings – often on a large scale. Exhibitions include top galleries in London, Kettles Yard in Cambridge.
“The paintings…are like flags that hold the secrets of an unknown country” – writer Julia Blackburn.
July 10 – 28
The Sedgwick Retrospective
We are pleased to host this exhibition of the work of Jorgen Sedgwick (1927 – 2008) who was a long-standing friend of the gallery and regular exhibitor.
His beautiful and distinctive landscapes are highly
regarded both in Britain and in his native Denmark.
Also showing will be paintings by Jorgen’s wife Christine – well-known for her lovely portrayals of children and water – and prints & drawings by their daughter Anna Sedgwick.
Many of the works will be for sale.
July 31 – August 18
Priscilla Boniface
She aims “to portray Suffolk’s distinct features of plain-ness, directness and clarity” through mixed media. Her exciting site-specific work uses textiles and mark-making of both energy and subtlety. Priscilla trained at Colchester and Hornsey College of Art.
Mike Holtom
The paintings express, in abstract terms and glowing colours, layers of history – change and decay - built into the environment by man and nature. Mike trained in Fine Art at Coventry University.
Gerald Nason
A regular – and popular – Gallery exhibitor over many years, Gerald is showing ‘Off the Wall Picture Cards’ for 2010. There will be (he assures us) 1000 mixed media post-card size works.
August 21 – September 8
Clive Davies
“My hope with my work is that it will bring character, warmth and colour into your home”. He has certainly done that, as his distinctive pottery is much sought after; visitors are always welcome at his Bungay studio/showroom.
Debbie Ayles
Her paintings and prints of old E. Anglian barns develop from a continuing fascination with structure, form and shape. The work, based in reality, appears as intricate patterns of colour and line. Selected for the 2010 ‘Elements’ exhibition in Norwich, and in ’09 exhibited in the Mall & Menier Galleries in London.
Tina Hagley
Her commanding work is informed by medieval paintings on wood, by natural forms and by anatomical & literary references, using glues, wax, sand, ash – as well as paint. Tina graduated from Goldsmith’s College and has been Head of Art in London & Suffolk schools.
Paul Smith
Having worked “in complete isolation” after an Ipswich Art School training, Paul is now beginning to show his paintings based largely on the Norfolk landscape, and has also begun to work in charcoal.
