May
at The Marle Gallery
A
fabulous selection of 130 Engravings from many prestigious
artists are exhibited this month in the 74th Annual Exhibition of the Society of Wood
Engravers. This is the only chance to see this important
selection of work in the South West.

Other
work on display for May includes Collagraphs from Vicky
Oldfield, new stoneware sculpture from Christine von Alten,
stoneware from
Mandy Parslow, new oil paintings from Tony Beaver, paintings
from Martin grover, sculpture from
Dido Crosby and Ian Middleton, and "picture bowls" from potter Nick
Hillyard.
Mandy
Parslows stoneware is salt fired in her own wood fuelled kiln
which she built in Ireland. This technique produces an amazing
colour palette in her pieces. She reflects the agricultural
landscape with a sense of movement in her stoneware.
Tony
Beaver believes oil paintings should bestow grandeur and meaning
to the subject. He has lit the human connection in his new match
stick oil paintings. He is master at turning an everyday object
into a characterful and meaningful being. Also showing his still
lifes of pots from the British Museum.
