| Our
annual summer exhibition provides an excellent opportunity
to showcase our eclectic mix of gallery artists. From
the dramatic and dynamic to detailed and delicate the
exhibition covers many different aspects of our Cornish
landscapes. |
| |
| Very
familiar to our regular customers is Amanda Hoskin.
After exploring Falmouth during the final stage of her
series of exhibitions 'Colours, Coast and Sea' she felt
compelled to return to the area. Exploring the harbour
and inlets around the Carrick Roads Amanda has provided
us with studies of delicate spring and summer flowers
hanging atop rolling fields flowing down towards the inlets
around Trelissick. Sail boats are highlighted by the sun
as dappled rays flow over water and sky, creating scenes
that typify the subtle influence of light on this beautiful
area of Cornwall. |

Sailing,
Carrick Road by Amanda Hoskin
320mm x 280mm, oil on paper
|
| |
| In
contrast one of our most dramatic landscape artists, Miles
Heseltine, has captured the coastal and moorland landscapes
around the rugged area of West Penwith. Miles' work has
an amazing energy that is evident in the thick brush strokes
and spontaneous mark-making. His aim is to capture the
physical force of nature, whether during windswept brooding
days or as the light changes and Cornwall becomes more
colourful. It is this dynamic style, even in smaller studies,
that continues to build his national reputation (this
is the second year that Miles' work has been selected
for the RWA's prestigious Open Painting Show). |

Church
at St. Buryan by Myles Heseltine
250mm x 280mm, oil on board
|
|
|
| Alongside
these artists will be a small collection of oils by Sarah
Wimperis. Although better known for her water-colours
(in April Sarah Wimperis was selected to exhibit in two
prestigious national exhibitions; the Royal Institute
for Painters in Watercolour and the Royal Watercolour
Society) her miniatures of the area around the Helford
are an exquisite exploration of the shapes and forms of
the lush foliage and mystical creeks of the river. |

Beautiful
Day by Sarah Wimperis
150mm x 400mm, oil on wood panel
|
| |
| Also
keen to experiment with the play of light on structure
and form is Roy Goodman. For this exhibition Roy
has focussed on the twisting roads and characterful houses
of Alternun near Launceston, as well as the moorlands
surrounding the village. Using acrylics he creates blocks
of colour and a strong palette to cleverly manipulate
light and shade giving a completely unique outlook. "The
perspective and edges of recognisable objects are often
tweaked to inject an element of uncertainty, and as usual
colour and its exaggeration is a feature." This approach
is tied into Roy's continuing exploration of the process
of perception and expectation versus reality. |

exhibition will be completed by other gallery artists
including Emma Jeffryes, Alasdair Lindsay, Richard

and seascape gallery. |
