Michael Cullimore
Works on Paper

'Cullimore has always had an odd and individual way of looking at things; he is a homegrown Symbolist, excited by the way that signs and portents and unexpected allusions seem to be half hidden in every shape of hill and valley, and finds magic and mystery in the most commonplace objects.....' John Russell Taylor writing in The Saturday Times

Mary Liddell
New Paintings
22 September - 13 October
Mary Liddell, great, great niece of Alice Liddell, inspiration for the Lewis Carroll stories, trained in the Eighties at the Central School of Art in London where here tutor was the late visionary painter Cecil Collins.
'Although I sometimes spend hours arranging everyday objects into a configuration that pleases me, once I start painting, teapots and jugs, fruit and flowers are quickly forgotten, a sort of alchemy takes place and they are transformed by light into abstract passages of tone and colour which in themselves create a mood, a transient quality, colours sing in rhythms and tones like music. Each painting has its own special journey, sometimes things happen very quickly and a landscape oil sketch can be a response to the special colours and mood of a place, weather and season, or a painting that takes longer in the studio may be the result of weeks applying layers of brush strokes and glazes.
