SUMMARY:New Horizons by Frances Winder
DESCRIPTION:A Post Lockdown Collection of Paintings by Frances Winder \n\n\n\n“I found that lockdown and the isolation and stress caused by Covid created a big problem with my art work. It paralysed me. I found myself unable to pick up a brush\, only able to sketch very locally. I was cut off from my inspiration which was usually to sketch\, explore and experience everything in a wide range of environments\, enjoying feeling free and alive to the world. I have a lovely garden and space to be in\, so I was very lucky\, but I felt trapped and too depressed to paint.This stop to my work has made me rethink what is important. I have wanted to experiment and find more meaning in my painting and other art projects.When I am painting\, I explore colour and texture\, moved by mood and atmosphere. I love walking and the Lakes area and this features in much of my work. Sea and shore\, the wide skies and fells\, as well as the weather are modifying aspects that I love. I do prefer a good storm to paint. Recently I have been more constrained and I am exploring the rich diversity of meadow lands and woodland.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrances has exhibited in the Royal Academy\, the Royal Watercolour Society at Bankside gallery\, the Lakes Artists\, as well as many times in the Cumbrian open at Up Front gallery.

SUMMARY:Hive Geometrix
DESCRIPTION:Paintings by Stephen Livingstone \n\n\n\n\n\nBeehives are places of mystery and magic. Even beekeepers\, who over many centuries have developed an intimate\, symbiotic relationship with honeybees\, can never properly understand the complex inner-workings of their hives. \n\n\n\nThe paintings in this exhibition are a visualisation of the inside of a working beehive\, an attempt to represent the activities of the queens\, workers and drones throughout a ‘bee year’. They portray\, in symbolic form\, the bee’s political and social activities and their often desperate efforts to survive\, aided and abetted by the interventions of their human guardians. The paintings are cutaways\, architectural diagrams of the interior structures of a beehive\, each panel representing a particular part of the hive\, the colours selected and layered in order to evoke the light and scent sensing experiences of the bees. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been made in collaboration with Penrith Beekeepers Association and is supported by Arts Council England. \n\n\n\nStephen Livingstone is a visual artist who is based in Durham. His work deals with human impact upon landscapes and habitats and often involves collaboration with museums and archives\, academic institutions and individuals with specialist knowledge and skills. He has developed major projects for the British Library\, the National Trust\, Durham University and the Museum of Art and Design in New York. \n\n\n\n\nSpring Bloom\n\n\n\nAbandoned Hive – detail\n\n\n\nWinter Brood\n\n\n\nBrace Comb\n\n\n\nHeather Honey – detail
