This week I have had the pleasure of meeting some new artists. Today Sue Sheard and Frances Norton both dropped off work for the upcoming Magic + Miracles exhibition and last weekend David Wheeler and Ruth Calland popped by with their paintings. I love it when people visit from other areas and tell me about projects that are going on in places I’ve never been to in galleries I’ve never heard of. It is wonderful to know that creativity and the chance to share it exists and blooms everywhere. Like an underground spring, there are creative corners in even the remotest parts of the country.
If you have watched any of the recent documentaries about fungi, you may have seen how it is an underground interconnectedness, like the mirror of the treetops but below ground; it’s like this enormous subterranean web which pops up in the form of trees and plants anywhere the conditions are right to do so. This is how I see creativity.
Kreiva Gallery is like one of the trees; it has grown on West Street and the Magic + Miracles exhibition is the flower which is opening now. In preparation for this flowering, I have been removing all the screws from the wall and filling all the holes, tomorrow I’ll go and sand them and paint over the patches. I think all the work has arrived now and the paintings are almost ready to hang.
The exhibition opens on 15h November with the 14th open for appointments only, so if you want to be the first to see it, get booked in on the 14th HERE.
Instead of a preview, there will be a midpoint festive evening on the 1st December, please come and join us, more details to follow soon so keep the evening free!
This week I’m showcasing three artists, chosen in the random number generator:
