Art: Summer 2022

SUMMER 2022 ISSUE 18

CREATIVE & CULTURAL LIVING

WWW.THATSMYCORNWALL.COM

SUMMER 2022 ISSUE 18 Summertime is here, and with it come the lively crowds of Kernowphiles, heading west for their seasonal fix of sun, sand and sea. Many will also seek sanctuary in the arts; as I write, we are in the middle of a heatwave, and the prospect of diving into a cool, shady gallery has never been more appealing.

For so many visitors, Cornwall’s culture is its principal pull. From the Newlyn School to the Leach Pottery, the Duchy is rich in history and creative genius.

Painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, glass, jewellery – it’s all here, infused with the fresh, salty air that makes Cornwall so special.

From Downderry on the south-east coast to Bude on the north, via Morvah in the far west, here is a selection of some of the best galleries and artists in Cornwall, all of whom are looking forward to welcoming you through their doors.

Why not take them up on the invitation? Just be warned: visitor or local, you might wind up going home with an extra-special souvenir for your living room wall!

Oll an gwella (all the best)

Society members run the gallery and are always on duty during exhibitions. In a new

venture, the gallery now sells work online. For up-to-date information on the current exhibition and our artists, visit www.ebenezergallery.co.uk Summer exhibition: April 9 to October 30 -----------------------------------------------Open daily, 11am to 4pm.

The Glass Shack is a working studio and gallery in the pretty coastal village of Downderry, to the east of Looe. Owner Caroline creates fused glass art, designing and making each piece by hand.

Much of her work is inspired by the beautiful coastal and marine environment right on her doorstep, incorporating colour and texture to reflect the organic, natural beauty around her. From vases to splashbacks, portholes to objets d’art, Caroline’s work is ideal for your home or as a special gift. As well as creating unique yet affordable art, Caroline accepts commissions and runs workshops enabling anyone to experience the delight of creating a unique piece of glass.

-----------------------------------------------Open Thursday - Saturday, noon - 5pm.

ART ON THE MENU

A NEW SCULPTURE FOR ST AUSTELL The Austell Project’s Whitegold Ceramic Art Trail has been completed with the arrival of the UK’s tallest ceramic sculpture: Earth Goddess by artist Sandy Brown, which stands at 11.5m high. The striking form in Aylmer Square is made from five large circles of clay, resembling giant ceramic beads on a metal pole, with outstretched arms 6m wide, all decorated with drops and flashes of bright colour. “It’s my hope this sculpture celebrates the town’s history and represents our collective and eternal roots with the environment, nature,

and Mother Earth,” said Sandy.

The trail is made up of 18 bespoke ceramic commissions created by leading artists to express the town’s connection to its industrial China clay landscape, fondly dubbed “the Cornish Alps”.

A new exhibition at Wheal Martyn Clay Works, near St Austell, recalls how artist luminaries were commissioned to design affordable everyday tableware in 1934. Sir William Rothenstein, principal of the Royal College of Art, hoped to revolutionise attitudes towards the relationship between art, design and industry. Each artist would be paid £10 per design plus royalties, and they visited ceramic factories to learn the techniques required to translate their work on paper into the finished product.

Among the 27 participants were Laura Knight, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson; the diverse and striking ceramics they designed were exhibited in Harrods of London and department stores across the country before touring internationally, with pieces now in museum collections around the world. See Art on the Menu in the Roger Preston Gallery until September 1; entry included in museum admission price.

Kestle Barton is an ancient Cornish farmstead situated above the Helford River.

The gallery, garden and wildflower meadow beyond host a programme of free exhibitions and other visitor events each year, from early April to late October.

Gustav Metzger’s Earth Minus Environment (until September 4) aims to give dramatic visual form to the visible and invisible tensions in our relationship with the natural world. At its heart is Mobbile (1970/2022), a modified second-hand car that collects and stores its own carbon emissions in a transparent cube fixed onto its roof. Inside, a living plant becomes gradually asphyxiated by the car’s fumes as the work is driven around - a vivid reminder of the unsustainable trade-offs between ecological health and industrial society.

St Michael’s Mount has commissioned illustrator Jennifer Armitage to portray the iconic island using her trademark abstract and bold technique. As well as immortalising the castle, causeway and ferry boats, Jennifer has immortalised the flora of the sub-tropical gardens - spiral aloe, agaves, echiums and agapanthus – as well as the swooping swallows that visit the mount in midsummer. Jennifer, who is based in West Penwith, said: “My illustration reflects how I perceive the Mount as a magical and enchanting Cornish landmark, bursting with life, nature, stories and beauty.” The original work will sit in the Island Café and will be reproduced will on a range of exclusive lifestyle products for the island’s shop.

You can also see it on the cover of our sister title: the August/September edition of myCornwall magazine.

OUTDOOR SCHOOL OF ART

PENLEE HOUSE GALLERY & MUSEUM, PENZANCE Born in Birmingham, Walter Langley is generally known as the ‘Pioneer of the Newlyn School’, as he was the first of the Newlyn School artists to settle in the village, setting up his studio in 1882. Although Langley was accomplished in oils, he mainly painted in watercolour, often on a large scale. Using this demanding and difficult medium, he portrayed scenes of everyday life in a small fishing village, highlighting the hardships and tragedies that were commonplace during that

period. This exhibition, commemorating the centenary of Langley’s birth, includes over 60 works spanning his career.

A selection of paintings by his fellow Newlyn School artists will also be on display.

STEPHANIE SANDERCOCK, ST IVES Recently elected full membership to the Penwith Society of Artists, Stephanie produces unique abstract paintings and 3D works on steel, aluminium and wood. Her paintings have a mysterious force within them, perhaps mirroring the artist’s sense of being deeply grounded as she “plugs into the energy of the rock”. Lines and curves can be seen like pathways across ploughed fields, edges of boats or distant harbour lights. She

captures the energy of the area by building layers of plaster and paint, reflecting light with muscovite, adding an element of magic.

ST IVES SOCIETY OF ARTISTS

MARTIN JOHN FOWLER Martin travels extensively around Britain’s coastal areas, capturing the natural world and the towns and harbours that have a deep-rooted relationship with the sea.

He can be typically found interpreting and capturing Cornwall’s wild and bustling coastal areas, immersing himself in the elements and life of the community. Martin was born and raised in the mining towns of South Yorkshire but has spent much of the last 20 years in Cornwall, and as a result, his rich and vivid works have gained significant recognition amongst Cornwall’s artistic communities.

He studied painting and printmaking in Sheffield gaining

a BA(Hons) in Fine Art, and has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, in solo and mixed exhibitions. His bold colour palette and fluid style depict an intense sense of dynamism in his subjects from windswept, rugged landscapes to busy harbours docked with fishing vessels. The Prevailing Sense Change collection is an ongoing project to capture the change in working ports from personal childhood memories to the present day. Martin exhibits in many galleries in Cornwall, including the Customs House Gallery in Porthleven and Art World Falmouth.
