A Kaleidoscope of Colour and Light
14th March – 13th April 2010 (Closed Bank Holidays)
I had imagined that I would be writing this introduction talking about early green shoots of Spring, yet this morning there is a spectacular hoar frost, from the grass to the tops of the trees it is sparkling white, what a sight – and now onto why I’m really here! We are opening our 2010 programme with an exhibition of eleven artists each showing five paintings – the artists have all shown with us before, some names will be more fa-miliar than others, a mix that makes for an exciting ‘atmosphere’. On the rainy days rather more common at the moment than today’s frost and sun, it lifts my heart to think of the Gallery, resplendent in its new paint-work, these paintings fresh and full of colour filling the walls.
We also welcome Kate Hancock who is going to be developing the craft side of the Gallery for us. In this first exhibition we are showing wonderful glass by Wil Shakespeare and the work of Nick Joly, his beautifully de-signed and crafted furniture all made in English woods. These will be sitting alongside bronzes from our fa-vourite sculptor, Anita Mandl.
We can’t wait to be hanging paintings back on the walls, arranging the glass, bronzes and wood and then, most of all, welcoming you all to the first Private View of 2010, come and celebrate Mother’s Day in Alresford!
