Mark Rochester has exhibited widely in Devon where his paintings are well known and appreciated.
This year Mark had two paintings accepted for the 2016 RA Summer Exhibition – and because we had spotted his lovely work a couple of years ago we had already planned to bring him to London for a solo show – ‘En Plein Air’ held at The Crouch End Gallery on Oct 8/9th.
The Crouch End Gallery was delighted to show his arresting and beautiful painting and even more delighted that people flocked to Crouch End in order to see and to buy them!
Andrea Kim Valdez showed her acrylic sculptures at The Crouch End Gallery
Continuing the theme of the rainforest previously explored in her memorable room installation ‘Ecos de Las Amazonas’, Kim transformed The Crouch End Gallery into a suitable habitat for her latest ‘Live Edge’ acrylic sculptures featuring exotically coloured macaws and other work inspired by the plants and flowers of the rainforest.
Kim says ‘ The sculptures are made of a special acrylic sheet and exploit the power of this medium to catch normal daylight, making the colours glow along the edges. They can look even better under ultraviolet spotlights.’
Following the success of our Charity event last December, we developed a very special show for December 5/6th 2015. The print above, ‘Oui’ by Sarah Garvey was the prize for our Christmas raffle. It was won by Mari Lanson.
The show introduced our audience to the work of ten talented artists working in various printmaking media – Screen printing, Woodcut, Linocut, and several different Etching processes.
“Paint and Pixels” was shown on September 4th/5th/6th at the Avondale Gallery.
“Paint and Pixels” is a joint exhibition of Judy Gilley’s gouache still lives and Kim Valdez’s iPad paintings from the Amazon.
Paintings by Michael Kirkbride NEAC and Judy Gilley Friday 8th May, weekends 9th/10th and 16th/17th May 2015 from 10-5. Preview Thursday 7th May 6.30-9.30.
