Britain's What's On Event Guide
Kate Bell ‘Simbiosis’
Open Event Saturday 12 April between 1 - 3pm
‘Simbiosis’ is a new exhibition of paintings by Kate Bell inspired by her recent travels to Costa Rica celebrating its incredibly diverse climate and habitat. Moved by her experience in the rainforests she has created a series of seven large paintings in response to the wonderfully atmospheric music of Manuel Obregon, a Costa Rican composer who recorded a series of seven piano compositions in the rainforests. Entitled ‘Simbiosis’ he celebrates and highlights the fragile diversity of this extraordinary climate through his music. These paintings are an emotional response to place and a celebration of the biodiversity of this country. In paying tribute to the natural world, it reminds us to slow down and helps us reconnect with nature acknowledging the impact of climate change on all our lives.
Kate Bell is a painter living and working in Mumbles, Swansea. Much of the inspiration for her colourful abstract and semi abstract landscapes aim to capture the essence and the energy of place. evoking the feelings and atmosphere associated with a particular location rather than reproducing a direct interpretation.
Her work responds to landscape, through experience, myth, and legend. She is fascinated by combining art forms, responding to both music and poetry through line, colour, texture and shape. She works from sketches and paintings both in the environment but also through memory and imagination back in the studio.
