Event map
The exhibition explores the expressive response of two artists working the Sussex Landscape. Both are inspired by the vistas and salt flats of Selsey Marsh and the rolling undulating hills of the South Downs
About
John Hitchens’ work in the exhibition spans a 45 year period
from the 1970s to the present, and explores his continuing
absorption with the organic, changing, nature of the landscape
whether on a grand sweeping scale or reduced to abstracted
patterns of plough lines and hedgerows.
Anthony Garratt is well known for his spectacular outdoor
painting installations which have featured on national TV.
He is primarily concerned with weather and the physical
experience of painting in a landscape. Oen working in the
open air, brushes, knives, fingers, and palette knives all play
their parts in his work, and from the seeming chaos an image gradually emerges.
