Wildwood Arts
Owner of Wildwood Arts gallery, Cheri Hunston, is delighted to present a series of exhibitions over the coming months, showcasing some of the incredible high-quality art in the local area, inspired by Dartmoor, its nature and its wildlife.
9th to 17th February
‘Capturing Dartmoor’ photography exhibition
This very local photography exhibition captures the essence of Dartmoor - the people, places, flora and fauna - with work from a wealth of talented professional photographers and printers in the area. Cheri is working with photographer Maxwell Law to curate the exhibition. Much of his archive of images is nature based and his work has been widely exhibited and published, as well as gaining him the Licentiate Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society.
Everyone is welcome to the opening event on 9th February (6:00-8:00pm) to meet the photographers and purchase prints.
20th February to 13th March
‘An Artistic Journey’ Richard Slater
Wildwood Arts is very privileged to be exhibiting the work of this fantastic local artist, Richard Slater (Royal institute of Watercolourists), whose well-crafted style, portraying complex local landscapes as abstracts with vibrant colours, places him at the centre of the British Neo–romantic movement. He was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in 1999, with his work being exhibited yearly at the Mall galleries in London. His paintings are in the permanent art collection of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter and his work is also in the BBC art collection. Through his paintings, this exhibition will endeavour to trace his artistic journey over his many years as an artist.
Richard Slater will be in attendance to meet visitors at the opening event on Saturday 24th February (6:00 -8.30pm). Please contact Wildwood Arts for an invitation.
16th March to 7th April
‘Homespun from Devon’ Sue Lewis
This exhibition celebrates a method of 'painting with wool’ used by local artist Sue Lewis. She collects a wide array of locally sourced and rare breed fleece, such as Blue-Faced Leicester and Perendale, straight from the sheep, washes it, hand-dyes it and transforms it into beautiful artwork depicting Dartmoor scenes. She also recently acquired her own first sheep and is now building up her flock to source the wool!
Sue Lewis will be in attendance for a private viewing on Friday 16th March (6.30-8.30pm). Please contact Wildwood Arts for preview invitations and for additional times when Sue will be in the gallery.
Exhibitions are open Tues-Sat 10am-4pm. For further information contact 01822 258529 or e-mail info@wildwoodartsdartmoor.co.uk
