The 3 galleries at St Margaret’s house opened with new exhibitions until Sunday 6th July.
Sheila Masson – ‘Milk and Honey’
Photographer Sheila Masson returns to the UK after 20 years in the United States and has produced an exhibition from her archive of images which reflects the complexities of modern American life with nods towards the work of Frank, Boston and more.
Rosemary Taylor – ‘Nothing is Ever Black and White’
Rosemary Taylor’s exhibition explores the monumental manmade constructions that form our urban world. Using only a monochromatic colour palette to express the stark forms.
Taylor allows the black and white paint to drip and run combining the chance flow with meticulously observed objects that she has collaged into her own made-up landscape.
The painter Jamie King is fascinated by faces and the exhibition features strong portraits of well known personalities. Using a bold palette of red, blue, black and white with the odd touch of yellow, thick expressive strokes of paint model faces which are are pared back to their essentials.
