Shawline
An exhibition of ceramics, painting, sculpture and prints by Colleen Shaw, along with work by Richard Shaw. By exploring the subconscious, Colleen looks into the mystery of art making, drawing out forms and colours within painting and ceramics. Her more recent paintings use ‘heavy body colour’ and oil bar to explore how a composition can change through ‘painting and changing and repainting’. Childrens’ art activities will take place throughout the exhibition.
12-16 August 2019, The North Sea Observatory, Chapel Saint Leonards, Skegness, PE245XA. www.a-n.co.uk/events/shawline
Fabulous Forms
An exhibition of jewellery by David J Lilly inspired by brutalism featuring copper vessels based on prehistoric sea creatures. From his studio at Applesham Farm, which overlooks the River Adur just west of Brighton, Lilly cuts and polishes gems of many colours to fit the ‘aesthetic of the jewellery’ he makes. The jeweller also uses a developed approach to ‘fold-forming’ copper – a process that sees a unique marrying with brutalist architectural design.
8-28 August 2019, St Paul’s Gallery, www.a-n.co.uk/events/fabulous-forms
