What Celia Saw........

What Celia Saw........

10th June 2012

On yet another trip to Chatsworth House, a walk around the gardens revealed the work of Sir Anthony Caro. Large scale sculptures from the last 30 yrs were placed around the fountain lake with tantilising glimpes of steel through emaculately clipped hedges.
The juxtoposition of the hard lines and rusting metals softened against the flowing landscape of the surrounding hills and natural forms of trees, allowing the visitor time to look and be apart of these conflicting structures, giving rise to passing comments about what art is and whether this type of work has relevance to the wider general public outside of the regular exhibition space.
Yes this was a sunny day

12th  July

Foxlowe Arts Centre Leek a new exhibition of landscape art has just opened, artists Judith Donaghy, Darren Stevenson  and Ivan Taylor are exhibiting under the heading of Land and Sea. The work is a mixture of oils and watercolours as each artist reveals their own perceptions of the landscape.
There is something for everyone here from abstract forms and moody skys to traditional scenes in earthy tones.
Go and check this out- open til beginning of August see ST13 for further details and up and coming events.
