Show Out Of Drawing - Tom Hammick, Betsy Dadd and Laura Carlin 30 April to 28 May

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- We are pleased to present a joint show of prints, animation, monoprints, paintings and books by Tom Hammick and two of his former pupils, Betsy Dadd and Laura Carlin.

The exhibition will include a series of drawings pinned to the wall by all three artists, some small paintings on gesso by Tom Hammick, animation and paintings by Betsy Dadd and ceramics and books by Laura Carlin.

James Stewart, Gallery Director says “It will be an exciting mix of work in a variety of mediums, all of which have their basis in drawing.”

Tom Hammick is an award winning established painter and printmaker: In this show he is joining forces with and nurturing two of his former students as they are becoming established themselves.

Before and during the show the Zimmer Stewart Gallery will collaborate with local independent bookshop, The Book Ferret, High Street, Arundel. We will show books, which have been illustrated by Laura Carlin (“The Iron Man” by Ted Hughes for example) and they will show some works of art from the exhibition on their premises.
