Pools of Colour | Thurs 11 APR - Fri 31 May

A solo Exhhibition by Chris Bland
“The idea for these collages that make up the body of work for “Pools of Colour” originates in my studies of rock pools on the Northumbrian coast, pools full of colourful pebbles, shells and seaweed.
“Pools of Colour” also refers to the watercolour washes that underlie the collages. I have
then explored ways of cutting paper, making sharp edges with scissors or ruler or softer, arbitrary edges with controlled or random tearing, which allow colour washes to show through. I use a variety of papers, some of which are quite thick and, when torn, will reveal a second layer of muted colour.” Chris Bland 2019

A solo Exhhibition by Barry Cook
I am a contemporary artist living in Todmorden. I have lived in Todmorden, West Yorkshire for the past 34 years where I have my studio. I produce water based imaginative figurative paintings.
Using watercolours, inks, gouache and pencil, I produce theatrical paintings, inspired by nature, music, stories, folklore and myths. I like my paintings to be bold, colourful and uplifting.
I am intrigued by our place in the world and I wonder about the meaning of our lives here. In recent works I have used symbols such as trees to represent our lives on earth (as in ‘Little Faces’ and ‘Tree of Life – Royal Oak’) and boats to symbolise our journey through life (as in ‘The Gannel’). Other works such as the ‘People Who Look Like Their Pets’ series are deliberately humorous. BC Spring 2019
