8 Artists from Cuckoo Farm Studios

3rd-13th November 2018

An exhibition of contemporary fine art including paintings, prints, glass, wood,
ceramics and sculpture

In November, eight artists from Colchester’s Cuckoo Farm Studios will be winging their way down to Wivenhoe to exhibit their work at The Sentinel Gallery 'Open Art Space'.

This wonderfully varied show will include beautifully turned wood,
colourful fused glass, a range of ceramics, abstract and figurative sculptures, and paintings and prints ranging from imaginative responses to the natural world to thought provoking abstracts and modern realism.

Artists taking part: Sheena Clover, Lesley Croxford, Lupe Cunha, Lynn Foster, Liam Hennessy, Jean Muir, Nicholas Rowe and Pam Schomberg.

Each day, one or more of the artists will be in the gallery, with a special ǲMeet the Artistsǳ day on the 10th November, when all will be available to give short talks about their work.

Cuckoo Farm Studios was formed in 1992 in converted farm buildings on the northern outskirts of historic Colchester. It provides studio space to some 30 individual artists as well as a gallery, print workshop and photographic studio, and has links to local and regional educational and arts organisations.

'PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES'

Personal Perspectives bring together the work of three artists who work offers different insights into the landscape around us.

Pandora is based in Bury St Edmunds. Her delicate oil painting of intimate landscapes evokes a strong sense of place. Pandora works directly from the nature, drawing and sketching to capture a moment in time and a recognising the powerful force of the landscape.

James’s work captures the local landscape with dramatic brushstrokes and vibrant colour, giving both a sense of place and abstraction. Work includes sketches of scenes of Wivenhoe and East Anglia landscapes.

Fiona’s natural sculptural pieces display a true sense of place…..‘The materials I use for artwork are found in the waterways of North East Essex, mostly driftwood and bits of broken boats, washers and rusty metal.'
