EIGHT
October 4th to October 15th 2011
‘Eight artists, eight styles, one shared space’
This October, studio artists of Surface Gallery unite to present their latest exhibition, ‘EIGHT’.
The first in-house group show of the Surface Studio residents, ‘EIGHT’ is set to be a showcase in diversity, as the artists lay on an exciting mix of fine art, installation, illustration and more.
The exhibition will feature the work of:
Sue Eadie “Through the Cedars” : Drawings and prints inspired by Wollaton Park’s formal gardens.
Paula Reid Recent Paintings, 2010-11 : Exploring emotional journeys through layers of colour and pattern.
Valerie Turton “Ethereal Drawings” : Drawings that seek to express detachment and separation.
Ian Cutmore “Moving Landscapes” : Liminal spaces observed at the periphery of vision.
Maggie Smith “Moments in Dust” : Exploring the brilliant darkness of discarded memories.
Zoe Collishaw “What Lies Beneath” : An exploration into interwoven and overlapping images of decayed surfaces.
Peter Lumley “Retablos de Femenino” : A series of paintings inspired by the poems of Carol Ann Duffy.
Andy Hulland (mr the beef) “Clean Lines - Dirty Textures” : Characters, observed & imagined, recreated as unique, multi-layered illustrations.
“Our aim, as a creative collective, is to promote and present the contrasting artwork produced within the studios at Surface Gallery.”
The ‘EIGHT’ artists contributing to this show are a studio group, established two years ago within Surface Gallery; one of the leading contemporary art spaces in the East Midlands, showing both local and international visual art and supporting the professional development of artists, curators and people wishing to work in the arts.
The Private View will take place on Thursday 6th October 2011, 6pm – 9pm.
