Contemporary artist Frances Knight will present a solo exhibition of local seascapes at the Little Art Gallery in June as part of the Festival of Chichester. Painting throughout the seasons and in all weather at different locations along the Sussex coast including Chichester Harbour, Frances' latest work captures the effects of light at different times of the day on the various states of the tide. 'Between Shore and Sky' opens on Saturday 15th June at the Little Art Gallery in West Wittering, and is available to see until Sunday 30th June.
Inspired by light, Frances paints mainly on location directly from nature; working on larger more abstract paintings from these studies once back in the studio. Often going out to paint very early in the morning, her work explores the effects of light, colour and structure on the landscape. The immediacy of plein air painting allows her to capture the changing light more authentically and so convey a true experience through her art.
