C-Art is Cumbria’s largest visual arts project, awarded ‘Tourism Event of the Year’ at the Cumbria Tourism Awards 2014. This year around 200 artists, designers and independent galleries will open their doors to the public from 13 – 28 September. Co-ordinated by Eden Arts, C-Art promotes and celebrates Cumbria’s abundant creative talent, inviting visitors to step into the gallery and beyond to see art, buy art, explore the landscape and meet the makers. In addition to the popular open studios and gallery events, this year’s C-Art will feature ‘C-Art in Extraordinary Places’ - artists working in extraordinary locations, a new award for a Young Cumbrian Artist of the Year, and selected Micro-Commissions in the landscape, as well as a host of exhibitions, workshops and associated events. It’s a perfect time of year to experience Cumbria’s beautiful landscape and to see art situated in some of the UK’s most picturesque towns and villages. See how work is made, talk to artists, watch demonstrations and visit private studios that are usually closed to the public.

Visit the C-Art website for updates and more information: www.c-art.org.uk

The award aims to help the professional development of artists’ working practice and career, and shortlisted entries are featured on a dedicated online gallery on the new C-Art website. The winner of the Young Cumbrian Artist of the Year will be announced at the ‘C-Art at Rheged’ launch event on 11th September.

Watch out for yellow C-Art road signs all over Cumbria pointing you to a C-Art studio, gallery, installation or event. You can purchase artworks at the studios by cheque or cash, be aware that card payment facilities may not be available.

Surviving and Evolving; Robin’s subject matter, themes, paintings, projects, and photographic images are very much experimental! Which concern his learning in relation to the use of specific materials and media. Robin is self-taught. Some of the work includes his placing, and making photographic sketches of found objects. Robin attempts to look at something which might be considered to be ordinary and endeavours to present it in a new way. Address Carlisle Cathedral, 7 Abbey Street, Carlisle, CA3 8T2.

Wolves, bison and deer roam the studio, alongside paintings of their habitat. I see the animals as Guardian Spirits, symbols of wilderness, and its loss... meditations on both the resilience and fragility of life. Much of the work references deep time, but recently images of WW1 have appeared; a warning against a certain mind-set and continuing the exploration of pathos and memory. I have exhibited nationally and in several international shows. Address West Walls Studios, Rickerby Buildings, Currock Rd, Carlisle, CA2 4AU.

Renuka Saxena8 I use drawing, painting and mixed media to express a poetry of nature, bearing witness to the play of light and dark, and relationships of colours. Seemingly chance juxtapositions resolve into the significant horizon, silhouette or lines of motion. I wish my work to reflect a state of presence. I am working on new works using ink, watercolours, and oils on paper and canvas.

Delia Stevens10 My watercolour impressions are inspired by the north west of Cumbria. Though little known by comparison with the Lake District, the quality of light and space on the Solway Firth and the ever changing sky often tempts me out to paint. In contrast, ink drawings and more detailed paintings of flowers, people and animals show a different aspect of my work.

Barbara Hitch40 I spend part of my time drawing and sketching a variety of subjects and venues, from life drawing to cityscapes, although most of my work is either in watercolour or acrylics. Much of my painting is landscaped based, but occasionally I like to experiment with a more abstract interpretation of the subject to show the varied patterns and colours in the landscape, especially in the Eden Valley.

When one pattern meets another, its integrity is disrupted, and a transformative process takes place, undermining the value of a perfect form.

Trees are a recurring theme in my work at the moment - they are an integral part of the landscape here. Thirlmere is a favourite spot with its Scots Pine and Larches against the backdrop of Helvellyn. Up on the fells there are Rowan and Silver Birch, Holly and Juniper, self-seeded into nooks and crannies, pioneering life in hard places. //I attempt to interpret these using dyes and hot wax on silk.

Karen has enjoyed working with different media for over 20 years and in recent years printmaking has become the focus of her work. She finds the quality of marks made in the process of printmaking particularly fascinating and finds inspiration from different sources in the landscape, natural and man-made. Her original prints are created using different techniques such as dry point, aquatint and collagraphs to recreate forms and patterns.

I remain deeply interested in the process of printmaking, and in how methods such as collagraph and monoprint present their own opportunities and unforeseen paths of investigation. I love creating subtle surfaces on printing plates, mostly by unorthodox, low-tech means, and connecting their printed appearance to the textures I see in the landscapes around me in Cumbria. Sometimes these textures find their way into clay and become a ceramic piece.

Keith Snell121 Surrounded by the Cumbrian landscape, it would be surprising if this were not reflected in my images. But a passion for travel also influences the sources for my inspiration. However, I have moved away from a representational photographic style towards a more impressionistic approach, often painterly. And often it is the details in the landscape rather than the broader sweep which capture my attention. Expect the unexpected!
