February at The Marle Gallery 

New work on display  for February includes more sculpture from Dido Crosby and Ian Middleton,  pictures from Bronwen Coe, and "picture bowls"  from potter Nick Hillyard.

As well as some major installations around the country, Devon based sculptor Ian Middleton's work can be found in a number of significant collections. He has shown widely from 1977 to the present including The Royal College of Art, Institute of Contemporary Art and The Barbican.   

With landscape as her inspiration Bronwen Coe works with a combination of collage, water colour, crayon and gouache. Exploring the hidden and mystical qualities of nature held within the landscape she reveals a gently surreal synchronicity.

Well known Devon potter Nick Hillyard trained under Patty Elwood, a pupil of Bernard Leach. For the last 2 years Nick has been engrossed in the making of a series of picture bowls, crafting painstakingly detailed scenes from his days living in London, onto the concave surface of the bowl. The result is a charming, unique and highly crafted ceramic
