'Spanish Heat'

Louise Davies

1st - 29th June

Just in time for summer, we're very excited to be showing some stunning paintings by Louise Davies, following her recent stay in Southern Spain. Louise Davies is a London-based artist who is best known to many of our visitors for her beautiful, delicate etchings and collographs. Louise trained in painting at Central St Martins School of Art in London, before gaining her Masters in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art. Her loose mark-making, and use of vivid colour perfectly describe both urban and rural environments which she explores.

Now on show:

Helen Ward 'Paper Entomology'

Now on show in the gallery, we've got some stunning pieces by artist, designer and maker Helen Ward. Helen graduated from the University of West England (UWE) in 2001 as a graphic designer, and began her career by making pop-up books, whilst training as a traditional book-binder. She continues to design stationery, toys and and giftware for major UK retailors, as well as exhibiting her 'Paper Entomology' series in galleries around the U.K.

Her Paper Entomology artworks are made using paper pieces that have been individually cut and pinned into place. The coloured pieces are made from vintage hand marbled papers which date back as far as the late 19th Century. Originally made by highly skilled craftsmen using pigments and techniques that have since been lost. The butterflies and insects with handwriting on have been cut from letters written during the 1880's. Some works also incorporate gold and silver leaf.
