SUMMARY:Jan Gay RBSA
DESCRIPTION:Rhythmic brush strokes\, vibrant tones\, and a richness of light are central to Jan Gay’s collection. What could be every day\, becomes inspirational as she explores the energy of shape\, colour\, and form. Excitement builds from the seemingly insignificant. \nWhether painting plein air or in her studio\, the initial thrill of starting the work creates vitality in her mark making\, before a period of reflection. Evoking the way transient moments\, a motherly embrace in a queue or light on the canal water\, become a tangible memory. \nJan’s lifelong love of painting has been influenced by many artists\, including Paul Cezanne\, Mary Cassatt and\, more recently\, Fred Cuming. \nIn 2008 Jan became an RBSA Member. She studied painting and ceramics in Sussex University\, and Bournville Art School. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 12 September 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Jan Gay RBSA\, Pears In The Studio \n

SUMMARY:Gabrielle Roberts-Dalton RBSA
DESCRIPTION:Recasting the Shadow  \n…female intuition & the Ancestral Knower \nWorking through ideas related to the female psyche\, Gabrielle Roberts-Dalton has explored menopause\, ageing\, persona\, Hagitude/Cronedom female stories\, and fairytales. In these works\, she reassesses the importance of physically touching nature\, down to the basic touch of grass and finding awe and enchantment in the life/death/life nature. Her paintings try to open a portal into another world of intuition and the imagination. Roberts-Dalton works in series of oil paintings and drawings that overlap and could easily branch out in numerous directions. She follows an instinctual and fluid path\, responding to the images\, mark making\, and colour. The viewer will always bring their own feelings and experience when looking at the pieces. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 12 September 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Gabrielle Roberts-Dalton RBSA\, The Gooseberry Wife (detail) \n
