Beautiful art has an important place in the world - it lifts us up and inspires us; however, art should also challenge us to engage with important and sometimes difficult issues.
Current Exhibition
Towards the Light – paintings & collage by Emma Davis and ceramics by Vivien Shelton
Emma Davis is drawn to old books, their foxed yellowing pages and faded, worn cloth covers which she incorporates into abstract paintings. Working with paper and cloth as much as paint, she seeks to find balance and depth. Her work reflects her love of colour but also expresses the feelings associated with significant changes in her life.
Vivien Shelton is interested in the delicate balance between shape, form, texture and glaze. She adds a contemporary twist to ancient ceramic forms and creates pots of timeless character. Of her work she says: “I am very influenced by the contemporary Japanese aesthetic of minimalism of form and the colours of nature. I am currently experimenting with surface texture and colour using oxides – without straying too far from the natural colours of the clay or my passion for a monotone palette.”
The exhibition will run from 15 November – 5 December 2024.
The Sewell Centre Gallery is open, during exhibition periods, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 1.00pm – 5.00pm. Visitors should report to Bursary Reception to collect a visitor badge. It is possible to visit the exhibition on other days by appointment. Please contact Amanda Jewell or the Art Office (Monday – Friday) on 01235 543039. If visiting by appointment, please report to Bursary Reception to collect a visitor badge on weekdays, and at the Lodge if you’re visiting at the weekend.
