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.

George Young
New Paintings
19 May - 28 April
George Young paints montaged images originating from the mid C20th. His paintings involve reductions and insertions from and into the original images subverting the initial meaning and narrative, turning factual images into fantasy. The accumulation of these small changes provides a potential for new reading and understanding. Young paints in a distinctive palette of saturated colours contrasting with deep shadows in liquefied oil paint, creating an atmosphere of confused nostalgia and failed narrative
Right, Landscape with Two Men, 2007, oil on paper, 60x50cm

Recent Sculpture
7 - 24 March 2007
'My work is mainly in stone, occasionally incorporating iron and stainless steel, materials I feel are elemental, hard and uncompromising. This is fundamental to my work. Wherever the idea comes from, natural forms, heavy industry, words, politics, I strive to imbue the piece with an elegant solution. It is important to me that the viewer feels invited to touch, to feel the contrasting textures, to engage with the physical form as well as the intellectual idea. There is a continuous process of exploration, of deleloping ways to interpret ideas, to challenge the commissioner and viewer.'
