Calendar 2008

May 3 - 21
Fran Pemberton
Paintings full of colour, movement and energy, based on observation but with a free flow of ideas and a love of the actual paint processes.

Penny Hunt
Trained in textile design, later painted with varied mixed media. Experimental mark making and veils of colour create texture and form. Penny lives in Halesworth.

Dave Sumner
Highly detailed black-and-white drawings with a wide range of subjects, from still life to figures and abstracted plant and water forms.

Oliver Creed
Sculptures of unglazed stoneware in slabbed and cut forms, architectural in concept.
Fran Pemberton
Brian BennetMay 24 – June 11
Brian Bennett
His paintings are an abstract development of former watercolours of boats, doors, walls etc. The media he uses now include acrylic, oil and collage.

Gerald Nason
Gerald has exhibited regularly at the gallery. This time his work, in mixed media, roughly follows the theme of ‘couples’.

Amanda Ansell
Semi-abstract paintings: fictitious islands evoking fragile forms of icebergs – a statement of climate change. Amanda studied at Norwich and The Slade.

June 14 – July 2
John Vesty
The subject matter of John’s paintings are still-life, figures, interiors and landscapes, sometimes journeying into the absurd.

Jerry White
He works in oil and water-colour; almost all the paintings show human images and have ‘story-telling’ titles. They are slightly off-beat and fascinating.

Brian Steventon
Contemporary landscapes in acrylic, mixed media and water-colour, inspired by the atmosphere and light of East Anglia and Italy. He has exhibited widely.  
Jerry White
Darren McMorranJuly 5 - 23
Margot Noyes
One of East Anglia’s (and Halesworth’s) most respected artists, her landscapes – still pools, trees, strange marshes – never fail to bring both mystery and delight.

Poppy Szaybo
A photographer, she has turned from years of documenting the lives of refugees to producing vivid cyanotope studies of plant forms, feathers etc. for this exhibition.

Darren McMorran
Abstracts, where layers of paint float upon each other; round or oval shapes, marks and drips, add to the organic nature of the work. Darren lives in Bungay.
July 26 – August 13
Vernon Rose
Worked in Cornwall before moving to Suffolk in 1981. With very limited eyesight he paints harbours, cottages, fish, in a bright and clear style. His work is in many local collections. 

Helen Cockburn
Work with found objects, paint and collage, exploring a fascination with poetry, maps and ancient landscapes. Currently experimenting with the artist's book.

Desmond Brett
Sculpture explored with unconventional use of hand-made processes, construction and text. He will also show drawings related to the 3-D work.
Helen Cockburn
Brian Whitley

August 16 – September 3

Bryan Whiteley
Trained at Ipswich and Camberwell in the 60s, his present images of boats, fields, etc, informed by earlier abstractions, are bright and clear, with surface pattern.

Mark Ward
Sometimes Mark develops ideas from sketches, but often he builds models which are carefully lit and observed. He paints in oil, acrylic, pastel and charcoal.

George Turner
Paintings, drawings and sculpture from the human figure, stripped of context and made in layers of simple techniques for maximum concision.
