There are some great Open Studios taster sessions around the county at the moment, offering a flavour of the exciting range of creative work on view at participating studios and galleries in June.
The Lewis Elton Gallery, a wonderful gallery tucked away within the University of Surrey campus, is showing works by various artists until May 16th. Peter Rogers has co-ordinated this exhibition and has selected a richly varied collection of work from 34 exhibitors.
I particularly loved paintings by Andrew Curtis, an artist who draws inspiration from his travels, creating vibrant and striking works of art in watercolour, oil, acrylic and mixed media. Wonderfully vivid collages containing bits and pieces gathered on his wanderings in North Africa and the Middle East, including secular Arabic text together with bits of Koran, really bring the countries to life.
Also at the Lewis Elton Gallery, Iona Mackenzie Laycock exhibits some of her richly earthy 3D ‘paintings’ depicting landscapes from Surrey, Sutherland and beyond.
Mary Wondrausch includes a 3D collage and richly glazed ceramics and currently has one of her works at the V & A.
Beautiful, smooth wooden vases and bowls by John Sherwood, screenprints by Annee Robson, deliciously rich green glass vases by Jake Mee - the variety of work is exciting and of the highest quality.
