Luminaries

The nine artists in this exhibition have been selected by Catrin Webster, a local artist. She chose them for a feeling their work shares: each is trying to communicate strong ideas and emotions in their individual ways . Their concerns are not only the materials of art or the practice of art, but living itself. They turn everyday experience into something extraordinary; something magical.

Between them, the nine use a diverse range of both traditional and more contemporary media , from oil painting to video installation. This ease with a wide range of materials – both precious and `throw away` – is a feature of our art at present.
