Julie Giles – New Oils

Family, fun and frolics, and the great outdoors of Italy , France and Suffolk is what this Camberwell School painter is all about! The Artist’s loose, textured style is particularly befitting of her subjects and the memories of those lazy, carefree days when nothing gets done.

& Patrick Elder – Sculpture

Loud, brash and showy are words never associated with this sculptor. His first solo show at The Gallery sees his style to be quietly confident and contemplative, as these elegant pieces instil a sense of peace and calm within the viewer and their surroundings.

  Naomi Munuo – Mixed Media Paintings

A first for both Artist and Gallery, this exiting young Suffolk painter is a real find! Her amalgamation of still life and figurative elements within abstracted imagery is as seamless as her use of mixed media and collage.

  Gill Levin – Mixed Media Paintings

In her first solo show at The Gallery, the Norfolk Artist adopts a cool, earthy palette and abstracted style to express her observations of ‘the spaces between’, infilled with wild flowers, grasses, landscapes and reflections.

  Olwen Jones R.W.S, R.E, R.A.S – New Works

The Artist's fascination for structural and architectural features of buildings and plants, and their interaction with reflective surfaces, have always been a great source of inspiration. Coupled with drawing skills that are second to none, this Essex-based Painter/Printmaker remains one of the most highly respected artists in the Region.

Ken Cuthbert - Recent Oil Paintings

Ipswich born and bred, the artist (and President of the Ipswich Art Society), has a very strong affinity to the town. The original working area of the Wet Dock close to the Gallery provided much of his early inspiration and fuelled his fascination for the visual abstraction of urban and industrial landscape.

Peter McCarthy - Mixed Media Paintings

A fellow Ipswich Art Society member, Peter is primarily a painter of flowers, but of late, solitary buildings or boats have been incorporated into his compositions. His imagery, at times bold and impressionistic or by turn strikingly minimal, is always highly and richly textured.

  John Brunsdon - Etchings & Paintings

Still a youngster at almost 75 (!), this veteran painter / printmaker has worked prolifically and exhibited widely ever since stepping out of The Royal College of Art over half a century ago - and there's still no stopping him! This exhibition charts his development from early abstracted imagery through to the more formulated, simplistic landscapes of today, where a hint of abstraction has crept back in!

  Gil Mutch - Oil Paintings

This Camberwell Art School painter will be showing throughout the entire Gallery in this major exhibition, her most comprehensive to date. Whether a figurative piece or broader landscape, Gil's overtly abstract works contain areas of exuberant colour and texture, where the oil has been substantially applied with an impasto technique - one could almost expect to see these works 'selling by the pound'!

  Jill Leman - New Paintings

The simple things in life are Jill's passion and source of inspiration. Fruit, flowers, vases, trinkets and cats - everything she loves, she paints - and almost all is sourced from right under her very nose! Needless to say, she surrounds herself with treasured possessions - and her possessions are her treasures.

  Graham Giles - Recent Oils

Graham tests the versatility of his favoured hand-made, cotton rag paper to its further limits. Having mastered its texture, he now examines the additional dimensions of movement, mood and atmosphere. Dramatic wooded landscapes and sweeping panoramic views of Suffolk, France and Italy never lose their momentum.

Mary Spicer - Mixed Media Paintings

The Norfolk-based painter's first solo exhibition at The Gallery explores the wealth of structural and textural beauty of the countryside around her. Architectural features of common hedgerow perennials are used to break up the strong, indelible lines of human activity in this multi-layered imagery, where the apparent simplicity belies its underlying complexity.

Michael Coulter - Watercolours

2007 sees the Artist celebrate his 70th year with this long awaited exhibition of new works, with some choice period pieces adding the icing on the cake! Having exhibited here for almost a quarter of a century, Michael has gained a considerable following throughout the region and beyond. His light-hearted observations of everyday people and familiar places make his style easily the most recognisablearound.
