Art Exhibition - Mary Webb 

Born in 1939, Mary Webb is a British abstract artist whose practice spans more than six decades. She studied at the University of Durham’s art department in Newcastle from 1958, then at the forefront of progressive art education under figures including Lawrence Gowing, Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton. Influences such as Richard Smith’s teaching on colour, the Tate’s New American Painting exhibition in 1959, and her research on Robert Delaunay were formative, leading to a lasting engagement with colour and abstraction.

By the late 1960s Webb had established the core principles of her work. She paints exclusively in a square format, using straight lines, right angles and occasional diagonals to “define space.” Her precisely applied oil paintings create flat, hard-edged fields of colour in which every part of the surface carries equal weight. Although rigorous, her process avoids mathematical systems, favouring intuitive balance and asymmetry.

Colour relationships are central to Webb’s work and are often explored through extended series. Landscape and travel provide key inspiration, with places such as Corsica, New York, Crete, Tuscany and Utah influencing both her palettes and structural forms.

Art Exhibition Liam Hennessy

Liam Hennessy; 'pathways'. Liam Hennessy was born 1981 Education: 2012 BA (hons) Fine Art Colchester School of Art 2014 MA sculpture Colchester School of Art.

​I am instinctively drawn to abstraction in art because of the freedom it implies, and my work is influenced in particular by the formal experimentation of 20th century abstract painting and sculpture.

Each piece is created through a long process of layering, readjustment, and repainting until a formal coherence or balance is achieved; I am very interested in the way that the eye moves around an image and the visual rhythms that are created.  I like to think of each piece as a map or territory to be explored.

Art Exhibition Eileen Coxon

Harvesting Memories - My work is about my experience of landscape. A childhood spent in rural Hampshire in an area famed for its natural beauty fostered a life-long love of the English countryside.

I am inspired by my walks in the agricultural landscape that surrounds my Suffolk home. Working almost entirely from memory of the experience, I paint semi-abstracted landscapes in oils.

I don’t seek to romanticise the landscape but rather to encompass both the reality of modern agriculture with its huge fields of monoculture and industrial style farm buildings as well as the beauty of the remaining hedges and field margins.

Back in the studio my process is very much a two-way conversation with the painting itself and a search to find that certain ‘something’ that I didn’t quite know I was looking for. 

July 30th to Aug 29th - PV 31st July 6 - 8pm

Bringing together both established and emerging artists, the exhibition offers a vibrant snapshot of contemporary printmaking, with a wide variety of styles, subjects, and techniques on display.

Mark Croxford - Recurring Narratives
Mon-Sat 10-3pm FREE

‘Recurring Narratives’ is based on observations of the local landscape. Documenting time & space in the emotion of a selected moment. These one off printed images are quiet reflections, snapshots in time evoked by the physical history and an imagined narrative of the Suffolk landscape. ​
​
I graduated from Newcastle Polytechnic with a degree in Fine Art in 1985 worked as a studio assistant to Eduardo Paolozzi, Barry Flanagan and a number of other contemporary artists. I have travelled extensively through out the Baltic States since 1993, wood carving, teaching and participating in sculpture symposiums. I have exhibited in Estonia, Finland, Holland and Britain and have work in a number of private and public collections.

I moved from the city to rural Suffolk six years ago which has slowly informed the way I think about making work, the materials I use, and the objects I make. My choice of colours has become much more in tune with the seasons , use of materials and my place in it. For me it's about ideas and a sense of place.

‘Recurring Narratives’ is an interesting diversion from my normal sculptural practice and an idea that I have wanted to pursue, though print, for quite some time.
