Paint, Palette, place - Exhibition at the LAKE gallery

Landscape and beloved places are interpreted in this painterly collection by three artists from Wirral and North Wales. Featuring work by Karl Hughes, Nesta Eluned and Clare Flinn.

Karl Hughes
Karl is a figurative painter working in an impressionistic style across acrylic, oil, gouache & pastel mediums. Drawing and painting is a lifelong passion for him and he enjoys the mix of problem solving and exploring creative possibilities it gives. Karl’s artistic inspiration is drawn from many sources - most recently capturing scenes from his travels at home and abroad. This exhibition contains a mix of work produced outdoors ‘en plein air’ and in the studio from the West Wirral coastline and his recent travels in Tuscany & Mallorca.

Nesta Eluned
Nesta is a North Wales artist born and living in the hills of Eryri (Snowdonia). Her approach ranges from plein-air sessions to studio work and embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques. The work fuses classical landscape compositions with abstract expression. This comes through dynamic mark making and gestures that come naturally from being immersed in the wild, mystic and uncompromising environment of Eryri and the North Wales coast. Nesta’s work has been described as evocative and vibrant, conveying a deep connection to the landscape it depicts.

Clare Flinn
Clare’s work aims to convey a sense of place to the viewer, through her use of expressive marks, layered paint and, sometimes, water soluble crayons. She is primarily a landscape painter, which fits with her love of the wilder places of the British Isles. This collection reflects that, and her continued fascination with the edges of the land. Her work is evolving in a quest to simplify down to the main elements, with sketchbooks used en plein air being her main starting point in creating work. She enjoys experimenting with paint, pushing its limits and using it in less conventional ways. Clare is a co-founder of The Lake Gallery.
