Jude is inspired and fascinated by nature, recalling places experienced or imagined as the work forms, creating from a place of no time, no space. She uses marks like an impressed memory, trying to recapture the essence of that moment.
Jude constructs images with multiple layering, but at the same time leaving space for surprise, for something unexpected to happen. Her paintings are created through a performative process of applying pigments, oils, creating pools, then tilting and manoeuvring the canvas. “Water is such a powerful force in shaping the natural landscape” and by using the fluidity of the paint in her process, resonates with ways in which the landscape is formed and eroded.
Anne Nicholls has been a member of Walsall Society of Artists for many years, and is an accomplished watercolourist. She is happiest when painting landscapes and florals.
Steve is a Self Taught Artist, based in the West Midlands, Steve specialises in his own unique take on cubism and abstract art. Often taking inspiration from environmental and conservation issues, Steve will be equally moved to create a painting inspired by his inner thoughts, frustrations and personal day to day life.
Steve’s artwork teases the viewer’s eye and over time allows the viewer to interpret the painting and impart their own perspective. By a clever use of lines, creating a three dimensional space, they take the gaze of the audience across and then through the painting, on an otherwise two dimensional space.
Exhibition opened on 15th December and ran until 18th February
