Exhibition of paintings, prints and drawings by four artists living in Cornwall, Gillian Cooper, Catherine Harvey Jefferson, Trudy Montgomery, Paul Wadsworth.
About
Inspiration for these artists comes from the textures and forms of granite, windswept hawthorns, the wild seas of the Scilly Isles and the stormy skies of the Cornish landscape. The exhibition will explore the use of black & white, and/or one colour.
Between light and dark lie an endless range of subtle mid-tone shades that can be used to create dynamic shadows and highlights, whilst different colours complement each other, the use of black and white has an intrinsic nature which pares every scene down to a palette of shades, lending itself to a different aesthetic, one which is about tone, form and texture.
There are 28 drawings, prints and paintings on show. All works are for sale and prices range from £195 to £1450. This is the seventh exhibition to be held at The Old Coastguard which is owned by Eat Drink Sleep (owners of the Gurnards Head also in Cornwall and The Felin Fach Griffin in Wales) and the Tresco Estate.
