Kidepo, Uganda
I recently received an irresistible request for Christopher Corr:
Hi Chris, further to our conversation this morning I was wondering if you could pass on the following to Christopher Corr. Continue reading “Kidepo, Uganda”
Tory Lawrence
We are very pleased to welcome Tory Lawrence to The Rowley Gallery. Five of her oil paintings are presently displayed in our window. They are captivating pictures of the countryside, direct responses to being there, walking, soaking it up. The surface of the paintings is lively and worked but never overwrought. You can smell the oil paint mixed with the smell of the fields. They feel authentic; it’s clear she has looked and absorbed and distilled a true vision. Continue reading “Tory Lawrence”
Cornucopia!
Jelly Green‘s paintings of cows can be seen this weekend alongside Jason Gathorne-Hardy’s drawings of sheep at White House Farm, Great Glemham, Suffolk. Their exhibition is part of Cornucopia!, one of the fringe events at this year’s Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival.
Spectrum Fish
This is a new print by Fanny Shorter, Spectrum Fish. It’s an epic 16 colour hand-pulled screenprint in a limited edition of 100. Fanny describes it as a colour wheel of tropical fish, each placed in the spectrum according to the actual colour of the species and then printed to scale. Each fish is numbered on the print and then named at the bottom. See more at The Rowley Gallery.

Bea’s Birds
On holiday last year in Cornwall we were frequent visitors to Potager, a garden & café with badminton, table tennis, hammocks and chickens. It was just up the road from where we were staying, the perfect place for afternoon tea and I’ve just discovered it’s also a great favourite of our newest artist, Bea Forshall. Although we didn’t meet her there, it almost feels like we did. It’s where our paths crossed. Continue reading “Bea’s Birds”
Rue Des Roues
This is the Street of Wheels in L’Isle sur la Sorgue, Provence, France. The town once had seventy waterwheels, all powered by the Sorgue river, driving mills for grinding grain, making paper and weaving silk. Nowadays the river turns fourteen vestigial wheels driving the tourist circuit around the town. We came here on holiday and stayed in the house on the right by the street lamp.
