TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT
05 February - 05 March
Red Barn Gallery
'Tales
Told by an Idiot' brings together three artists living in Wales
whose narrative prints will definitely keep you guessing! On first
glance the presence of toys, dogs, rabbits and horses give an impression
of an innocent portrayal of nursery rhymes or fairy tales. But on
closer inspection there are 'dark' undercurrents of the sinister
side of the unconscious and nightmares. A surreal world opens up
before your eyes as everyday objects are cleverly woven into the
most mysterious of circumstances leaving the viewer unsettled by
such absurdities as a carrot with a human head! Add to all that
some Shakespeare, some mythology and some tall stories and you definitely
have food for thought!
WAREHOUSE ON THE WASH
05 February - 05 March
Shakespeare Barn
Established
in 1990 by graduates from Norwich School of Art and Design, the
Warehouse Artists Studios has become East Anglia's largest studio
group.
Over thirty artists work with a wide range of methods and materials.
Alison
Hall produces matrix arrays of fragmented landscapes in painted
layers. A landscape in flux, Sophie Marritt researches environmental
transformation, in particular coastal regions and climate change.
Paintings
by Stephen Cross evoke gravitas from absence and a sense of loss
in the
landscape, whilst Christine Allman's richly glazed paintings of
folds present a
more spiritual landscape of the inner self. Also participating are
Kevin Lee, who uses
recycled materials and will be working local flotsam and jetsam
into collages, Imogen Bardwell who produces video and installations
often on the theme of landscape and Lynda Williams who often uses
photography as a starting point and manipulates images through the
printing process.
(Alison
Hall will be Visiting Artist at the Saturday Art Club on 12 February,
Kevin Lee will be leading the 'What a Load of Junk' Family workshop
on Saturday 19 February and Imogen Bardwell & Lynda Williams
will be Visiting Artists at On Site on Sunday 20 February. See 'Workshops'
for booking details.)
WORK-A-DAY
22 February - 05 March
Old Warehouse
College
of West Anglia BA Fine Art Students (2nd Year)
This is an experimental exhibition opportunity for local students
which showcases one artwork per day for 10 days in the atmospheric
Old Warehouse Gallery. Every day there will be something different
to see plus a full explanation by the artist of how the piece came
about. You will also get the chance to have your say on the comments
wall, where you are invited to tell them what you think! From wild
and wacky to sober and thought-provoking, on the wall, off the wall
or on the floor, there is no limit to what you might see, but don't
forget you only get a WORK-A-DAY, so be sure not to miss one!
