GERI WADDINGTON

Friday 1 September –  Saturday 14 October

Private View Friday 1 September 7-9pm

 

Geri Waddington  trained in painting at the Slade School of Fine Art. She started engraving in 1995, and was elected a member of the Society of Wood Engravers in 2001, and its Chairman in 2014. She has exhibited regularly with the Society of Wood Engravers, the National Print Exhibition (later named ‘Originals’), (prizewinner 1999 and 2005), The International Miniature Print Exhibition, and at the Royal Academy and numerous independent galleries. She makes and sells independent prints and also illustrates hand-made private press books, where her engravings are printed directly from the wood, and has work in collections in the UK and abroad.

Wood engraving is one the simplest and yet most intense forms of printmaking; an image is produced by engraving into the polished endgrain surface of a block of wood (traditionally boxwood), with a variety of tools, which can produce a wide vocabulary of marks. The block is then inked with a roller and printed onto paper, where the cut marks appear as white.

CARRY AKROYD

Friday 3 – Saturday 25 March

Private View Friday 3 March 7-9pm

“I have always been interested in field patterns, and how geology dictates the agriculture of a district. A lot of my work is based on walking, or even driving, through the landscape, trying to understand it, rather than from a static viewpoint. I draw outside, but then work in the studio, where my dominating interest is in form and colour.

 A parallel, but linked, seam of work loses the representational landscape elements to give way to untidy patchworks of colour. I play for hours with each of these, sometimes over years, until satisfied by a balanced composition. 

At the same time as following my own inclinations, I have accidentally become an illustrator. Time spent drawing outside led to noticing birds and their habitats, till they became an important ingredient in my work. Due to this, I was commissioned to illustrate the book of the Radio4 series ‘Tweet of the Day’, then to do a regular illustration for the ‘Bird of the Month ‘column in The Oldie magazine. I am also jacket illustrator for the two series: ‘British Wildlife Collection ‘ and ‘Encounters in the Wild‘.

The span of work between illustrating to order and the unlimited playing with colour suits my restless nature, as does working in a variety of media. When one vein becomes exhausted, another is ready and waiting.

SIMON DOLBY OIL PAINTING

After many years painting in watercolours, Simon started exploring oils. While some of his larger oils are painted in the studio, some of these smaller works have been painted ‘plein air’ and mark a new direction in his style and technique.

17 July – 8 August

‘Lines at strange angles, criss-crossing, creating uneven spaces and shapes between. I see all these things in man-made structures that have been stressed or damaged.
