INTRODUCING
We welcome One new artists to the first of our December event!
BEX COLLETT - ARTISTLarge canvas paintings inspired by the colour harmonies and contrasts of Salisbury Plain. Taken from long walks in the sun shards of copse woodlands to the grassy naturally luminous chalk tracks and the endless paradisiacal spectrum of wild flower valleys and other engaging chromatic offerings. Having been immersed in the Plains range of hues, these are set to memory, recomposed and eventually abstracted on paper, board or canvases back in the studio, forming simplistic palette cells, provoking feelings of past wonder, curiosity and a wistful affection for well loved locations.
