January: The month of beginnings and endings, and when the Sussex Arts Collective start their new season of exhibitions with UNO23 ONE: BUON ANNO! at Gallery Uno in what will be an epic year. This follows a year they can happily reflect on as being challenging, yet highly successful, enabling them to confidently look forward to the year ahead.
During UNO23 ONE many of the exhibitors will be showing clearance work from their workshops and studios at reduced prices, alongside their regular lines at full price as they ready themselves for the forthcoming year. So there will be an opportunity for you to buy many pieces at bargain prices as well as delight in the quality of current work.
The ever-changing month-long exhibitions have been wholeheartedly embraced by both our visitors and exhibitors. In 2023 this fundamental feature is being retained and expanded. So, in addition to eleven regular UNO23 mixed-media exhibitions showcasing a variety of work, there will also be six UNO SOLO exhibitions. As the name suggests they will feature the work of one artist. In this way, patrons will continue to enjoy and buy from a wide range of art, craft and design created by their membership as well as accommodate those exhibitors who have more comprehensive portfolios or work too large to exhibit in our mixed media shows.
Such was the response to this initiative, the gallery has already filled five of the six UNO SOLO slots: the inaugural UNO SOLO curated by the highly accomplished photographer Nicola Bolton who has a vast and diverse range of work in many formats in April; will be followed by new member Patrick Goff in May; Mr. Treescapes Mark Munroe Preston in June; Colour Wave duo Linda Wells and Lynn Beck in August, and digital image maker Jan Beesley in late October, leaving one UNO SOLO exhibition in September currently available.
Looking back, 2022 has been full of highlights. Extraordinary textiles painstakingly created by weavers, and fibre artists; spectacular limited edition fine art prints using modern technology, as well as traditional hand printed skills using inks and blocks; sculpted ceramic animals in all sorts of styles; functional pottery and basketry; individually designed and handmade glasswork and jewellery; not forgetting the sensational work created by Roland Stevenson, a former prop designer for television and film. He was an immediate hit with his superbly cast ceramics and cold cast resin models; remember the porcelain elephant? Or maybe the Chinese dragon or the huge eagle that once featured in the film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
The full extent of what extraordinary work you will be treated to this year we are all yet to discover as
the artists and makers once more start their own journeys of discovery throughout the forthcoming year – The results of which will be very evident when you next visit the gallery in the coming months. No matter what is produced, in whatever material or media, the work will always follow the underlining principles of the gallery: originality; quality; conceived and executed from scratch by the artist, and above all – local.
