Exciting new exhibition - "Off the Wall"

15/8/2016

1 Comment

 
Contemporary Mix are at the Green Man Gallery, Buxton for their annual Exhibition this year themed "Off the Wall". That sounds intriguing doesn't it, so I wonder what creative artworks have been produced by the five creative artists? Could it be to do with Pink Floyd, the fifth studio album by Michael Jackson (I hope not) or stained glass? "Off the Wall" is an idiom meaning 'unexpected in an unconventional or eccentric way'. An idiom is a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words.

Sue has gone down a literal path ... to a wall overlooking a glorious stretch of deep blue sea, climbed a wall to spread her wings and taken a dive into the watery depths.

Joanne has been experimenting with forms using stoneware to reflect textures and colours found in the surrounding stone walls in the countryside near to where she lives. The stoneware is fired to a high temperature and Joanne uses a mixture of blue/grey and white glazes with cobalt carbonate.

Mary uses her exceptional talent of embroidery producing an intricate piece of textile work. With Mary's love of her garden - she has focused on her garden wall and "scruffy weed" growing from it. Titled "Just a Weed".

Anne has taken the unconventional route, and selected a Street Art approach using the wall as a canvas to show people doing fun activities using bright and contrasting colours.

Suzanne has created prints of limestone walls celebrating their flora and fossils.

The exhibition runs from Friday 19th August - Wednesday 14th September
with a launch evening on Friday 19th Evening 6-8pm

Buxton Art Trail

Well, what a fantastic weekend we all had in Buxton this weekend. Anne Mann, Sue Geldhill, Suzanne Pearson and Joanne Reay all exhibited their work as part of Buxton's Art Trail during Buxton's Fringe Festival which continues on until the 22nd July.
We had a fantastic venue at St Anne's Community Centre which was situated just at the rear of St anne's Church by the side of the Art Gallery. We had tea and coffee on hand with lots of lovely homemade cakes.
The turnout was high which just shows that the commitee members, (Suzanne Pearson being one of them), had done a great job in organising and promoting the event.
It is certainly one not to miss next time which will be in 2014 as it is a biannual event.
Heres some pictures of our venue.
