LIGHT - Group Art Exhibition by 6 Artists
Light is a collective exhibition exploring how artists respond to light in its many forms, natural, emotional, and symbolic.Across painting, fibre art, and ceramics, six artists explore shifting landscapes, personal narratives, and material textures shaped by illumination.Through glowing colour, layered surfaces, and tactile forms, each work reflects a unique way of seeing and experiencing light in the world around us.Zoe Franks presents semi-abstract landscapes capturing nostalgic environments through layered transparent colour, exploring fire, light, and the emotional resonance of place.Cynthia Copley responds to the natural world through expressive, gestural painting, translating her connection to the landscape into works rich with colour and energy.Liz Hampson explores surrealist imagery in a new body of work where natural light, stillness, and imagined environments merge to form poetic, narrative-driven scenes.Working in fibre and weaving, Cindy Wood creates intricate forms from foraged natural materials, reflecting the textures and rhythms of the landscape.Kim Napier brings a lyrical approach to semi-abstract and figurative works, using line and gesture to tell quiet, reflective stories.Cheryl Dundas presents delicate ceramic sculptures exploring character, form, and dream-like narratives.Together, these artists offer varied interpretations of light as illumination, emotion, and a force that shapes how we see and remember the world.
