Robert Perry Visit

Robert Perry will be here
Sunday 21st June 2015

11am - 4pm

to chat about his exhibition
'Water, Sun, Reflections'
a selling exhibition of Original Paintings
1st June - 31st July

We are showcasing a stunning collection of Robert Perry’s highly collectible new works throughout June and July. Robert has recently made three expeditions in his famous 'mobile studio' to river-estuaries in the areas around Barmouth and Tywyn in mid-North Wales.

Painting on location this March and April, Robert's aim was 'to capture the pure brilliance of the winter sun particularly when reflected on the wind-generated ripples of the water.' The resulting paintings immediately transport the viewer, evoking perfectly the weather, season and time of day they were painted. Robert always meticulously records the exact time and date he completes each piece.
Prices start at £495.

May Newsletter

Artifex Gallery May Newsletter

BLANDINE ANDERSON
'Extraordinary Journeys'
Original Sculptural Ceramics & Paintings
Exhibition runs throughout May

It is with great pleasure we welcome back renowned sculptural ceramicist and artist Blandine Anderson for a selling exhibition of her latest creations which runs throughout May.

'In this exhibition I wanted to highlight some of the amazing abilities and adaptations of creatures which enable them to travel about in their daily lives, from the local, seasonal ventures to breed and find food, to the ways in which they use their incredible senses (seemingly like special powers) to undertake epic migrations across oceans and continents'.

'Some of my pieces emphasize these abilities and adaptations, whilst other themes are more commonplace and concentrate on the simple paths travelled by familiar creatures as they go about their secret lives in our own back-gardens'.

All of Blandine's works are unique and highly collectible. The paintings are hand-painted in oils on deep-edged stretched canvas. The ceramics are individually hand-built in either porcelain or stoneware.
