The work on display is very varied in style. The only thing that the artists have in common is the fact that they are all still in education. All can safely be described as ‘up and coming’, displaying a good deal of talent and flair.
A wide range of different styles of painting are on display, from oils to photography, I was particularly taken by the work of Rebecca Merry, who works in egg tempera, and whose paintings at times directly reflect the Russian influences that are associated with this medium. Nick was impressed by the boldly executed paintings of 17 year old Georgia Vestey. The work of Georgina Chrisford was particularly accomplished in my view, and it is clear from the prices that she is already commanding that others think so too.
Most of the works on show are for sale (although a number are already spoken for!) The Gallery is aiming to raise money through the exhibition for St Nicholas Hospice in Bury St Edmunds.
Dear Jenny
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind remarks about my work at the recent show at the Hunter Gallery. You may be interested to know that I have another show coming up in London from 18th - 25th February at the Framers Gallery, 36 Windmill Street, London W1T 2JT.

Rebecca, unfortunately I will be in snow bound Suffolk on Friday, but I do hope that the show goes well.
