Until 4 January

Linocuts Helen Murgatroyd Double Elephant Gallery, Exeter Phoenix. Based in Bude, North Cornwall, Helen makes linocuts centred round themes of food, work and rural life. Her practise is rooted in observational drawing. “In my sketchbooks I document the community I live and work in. In the studio, working directly from my drawings, I develop prints that tell visual stories of the places and people I meet.” This selling exhibition showcases prints from an ongoing series based on the farm where Helen lives and works, alongside some prints from an artist residency in Nepal where Helen documented daily rituals in a rural mountain village. The recipient of many printmaking awards, Helen was voted Printmakers’ Printmaker by her peers at Printfest in 2019.

David Inshaw. Homage to Alf. 2022. Oil on canvas. 40″ x 40″. 101.5 x 101.5cm. £25,000

DAVID INSHAW’S paintings are alive with light effects, trees, birds in flight, bonfires and figures not posing but caught up in their own inner lives. He paints the things that matter to him, from the planes he loved as a boy living at Biggin Hill to clouds that stop him in his tracks. His landscapes are real places, interpreted through memory and dream in paintings that are both intensely personal and universal in their potency. The ‘Moments of Vision’ exhibition at Slader’s Yard in West Bay continues until January 28.
