The next exhibition we have lined up in the gallery for February, which will feature paintings from local artist Lucy Apple. The exhibition will run from 2nd - 28th February and there will be a private view on Friday 6th from 6 - 8pm to which you are all invited. I hope I will see you there if you can make it.
Here is a little bit about Lucy...
Lucy is a unique artist who can escape through painting, exploring and pushing the boundaries between a disabled world and the able-bodied world. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London with a Masters in Fine Art (MFA). Previously she achieved a BA at Falmouth College of Art. 'I use humour as my inspiration to produce large-scale, brightly coloured figurative paintings in acrylic. I want my work to dominate me. I have a physical disability – Cerebral Palsy. This affects my speech and hand co-ordination. My awkward hand movements work to my advantage when I paint. This helps me to express all my frustration and it brings spontaneity to the paintings. Without being able to verbally communicate with strangers easily at first, my work acts like a visual voice. I want to break down barriers between disabled and able-bodied people. For me, I don't want any barriers in my way'.
Also with Valentine's day just around the corner if you would like to get something for the someone special in your life come and check out our artists range of cards and prints, all under a tenner (and much better than the usual slush!).
