Contemporary oil paintings that explore the effects of weather and light on a landscape and celebrate the dynamic dialogue between vibrant colours and impulsive palette knife use that capture the feeling of the moment. A bold exploration of inner feelings and reflections is at the core of the imagery.

CONTEXTURE
ALEXANDRA RENDLE-SHORT & SARAH RUPESINGHE

21 OCT – 9 NOV
Click here for opening times.

Alexandra and Sarah are delighted to come together with a common bond to exhibit their very diverse styles and approach to each one’s art.

Alexandra works in clay, paint and ink. Alexandra’s work is an expression of herself as an artist, by which she challenges the viewer to see beyond the norm and the expected.

Sarah’s art is demonstrated through an expressive, contemporary realistic and abstract painting style using acrylic, oil, or mixed media.

LIGHT & REFLECTIONS
WOLFANGO CHIAPPELLA

13 NOV – 1 DEC
Click here for opening times.

Wolfango is constantly striving to develop and perfect his skills as a painter, using oil paints and colour to evoke landscapes, still life and portraits which touch emotions and stir memories. He describes his style as influenced by tonalism and his paintings are striking in their depiction of reflections, light and shade.
