About this Event
Dorset in Colour - An Art exhibition in Card, Acrylic, Clay and Felt
Dorset in Colour is an exhibition by 4 local artists, Jenny Penney, Caroline Tucker, Rupert Andrews and Clare Hughes working in complex media. Each creates their own unique finish, inspired by the land and sea of this beautiful county. The individuals have developed their own personal “mode of colour, texture and shapes” created through manipulating acrylic, card, clay or felt. The results are bright, energetic and colourful offering a delightful and thought provoking exhibition.
Jenny uses a scalpel to manipulate texture and develop layers, creating Dorset's landscapes or birds into very unusual and eye catching 'Relief' art work. Caroline has a background in textile design and this can be seen in her colourful floral and textural acrylic painting inspired by the countryside.
Rupert makes a beautiful range of wheel thrown and slab built ceramics. He has spent 30 years perfecting his unique sealed and colourful crackle glaze. Clare is fascinated by the natural world and uses her personal heritage of technical drawing and engineering to create absorbing felt works in fine detail.
