Cambridge artist Charlotte Cornish’s work exhibited in Through Colour at Gallery 6 in Newark
A series of paintings and prints capturing the essence of places signficant to an artist are on display.
Gallery 6, on Stodman Street, Newark, is hosting Through Colour, an exhibition of work by Cambridge artist Charlotte Cornish.
The summer exhibition is a collection of paintings, works on paper and limited edition original prints, initially inspired by place and experience.
Charlotte said: “I have always made limited edition original prints, and more recently I have been making unique works on paper. These are made initially using a screen print monotype process, further developed with painted elements, creating images that combine the qualities of both of these mediums.
“Inspiration for my work often comes from places I have visited and have significance to me. Taking photographs as a starting point, I then work on small studies. It is during this process that the images become abstracted. I am drawn to places full of intense atmosphere — colours, noises, smells, and I hope to capture something of these experiences in the work. I have always loved exploring the possibilities of colour and colour relationships and the infinite potential to create dynamic connections and reactions.”
The gallery is also offering an opportunity to learn more about the artwork, from the artist herself.
On Saturday (May 13) from 2pm to 4pm, Charlotte will give a short talk about her work, accompanied by a glass of sparkling as well as some live gypsy jazz from Arthur Tyers and Matthew Kerry.
Charlotte has been working professionally as a painter and printmaker for over 25 years, regularly exhibiting in a number of galleries and working with art consultants.
She also undertakes commissions and has work in numerous public, corporate and private collections.
A catalogue of all work available as part of the exhibition can be seen at www.gallery6newark.co.uk.
