Exhibition Two of 2008 is a celebration of the work of some very exciting artists all with different styles and outlook.
Martin Greenland returns with a fantastic show of some of his best pieces to date. As Martin says 'My painting has always stemmed from memory and imagination. I largely work in the landscape tradition though I still don’t consider myself to be a landscape painter. I try to make my work a very delicate balance between the believable, based very much upon the seen, and the unbelievable, which is about the unseen, the imagined.
The work of David Carson Shaw is displayed in the lower gallery. David's paintings often appear to be tranquil but the content may also reflect elements, which tend to be mysterious or apparently inexplicable.
We have the work of David Fulford who works mostly in oils, often making very large paintings. He also makes etchings, using a variety of traditional processes, and paints in watercolour and in gouache.
Susan Winton's current work is an amalgam of media and techniques. For this collection she has used a combination of painted plaster, photographs, and wax and acetate transfers mixing old and new technologies. Inspired by her roots in North East Scotland, and ties to The Shetland Islands. Subject matter includes the wild and rugged coastline contrasting with the tamed nature of the countryside.We also have the craftwork of Lynn Miller who has expanded her range wince she last exhibited with us. Lynn uses a mix of traditional craft skills and innovative techniques to achieve lively results. The metal is finished by hand, using oxide to define surface detail, allowing the magical nature of the metal to show.
The work of Zeita Scott is a vivid kaleidoscope of colour with her innovative pieces of sculptural art. With a mission to engage the world, Zeita has used her extensive knowledge and passion of the ceramic world to develop pieces that stimulate the creativity in the use of ordinary objects.
Exhibition 2 runs from May 3rd - June 17th 2008. Red Barn Gallery is open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm.
