On the Edge of
Abstraction
With Mandy Pattullo
Saturday and Sunday | Feb 18/19| 10.00 – 16.00 |
How do artists look at the real world then
interpret what they see as near-abstract shapes, marks and surfaces? From
a representational starting point, you will be encouraged to move towards
abstraction by simplifying what you see and working from different view
points. Using a range of mixed media and print techniques you will be able
to create collaged, drawn and painted pieces that really start to develop
your own personal language of forms. We will look at the work of Ben
Nicholson, George Braque and Howard Hodgkin among others. Bring in your
own inspirational objects – pots, seed heads, patterned cloths, musical
instruments etc to create shared still life areas in the window recesses
of the Hearth.
