Exhibitions

‘Landscape and Seascape Interpretations’ – John Wrigglesworth

John Wrigglesworth is a landscape painter who works directly on location. The scale of the work is determined by its portability. His aim is to establish a sense of place and the fact of being there. The work is centered on the coastline, his garden in Blandford and vacation visits to the Mediterranean. The painting is rarely completed in one sitting, but worked on over a period of time. The paint is freely applied sometimes thin as in a watercolour and at others thick and gestural. The work usually bears a close resemblance to what is being painted but in others the painting 'takes over' reworking itself similar to a musical improvisation.

October 16^th to November 17^th David West Gallery,
The Town Mill 

Open: 11am – 4pm Tuesday – Sunday

‘Inside / Out’ – Duff Pearce

This exhibition will include recent large crayon, brush, pen and ink drawings based on the human figure, landscape and still life. The freedom of using pen, ink and brush has allowed Duff  to break away from the rigid, geometric lines that have characterized his work over the last few years. The problem of erasing marks made with black Indian ink have been overcome by using corrective cut out shapes of white paper. This enables Duff to continue to clarify the image and change the form.

November 27^th to January 2^nd 2011
