An exhibition of paintings and textiles by Steve and Sue Owen

Tuesday 23rd April - Saturday 4th May

Private View Tuesday 23rd April 6-8pm

Open 11am to 5pm daily (closed Mondays)

Using fabrics, threads, paint and dyes to create interesting patterns and surfaces has always been part of my personal and professional life. I grew up to the sound of a sewing machine as my mother was a tailoress who worked from home. Now I produce works which are a fusion of hand printed and dyed fabrics with surface detail in hand or machine stitching. Sue Owen

I never seem able to predict what my finished paintings and collages are going to look like, in fact a preordained outcome would be very unusual for me. I’m happiest working with a pile of old magazine pages sorted into colours, fragmented graphic images and vintage typefaces etc, together with a full set of acrylics. It’s an open minded and playful approach to picture making which starts with chaos and ends (usually!) in harmonious colours and shapes.

Summer Showcase 2024

WANDSWORTH ARTS FRINGE

4th to 23rd JUNE

A fantastic range of rtists will be taking part in our Summer Showcase! Our artist members’ group show is part of this year’s Wandsworth Arts Fringe Festival.

Submissions will be accepted via email between 10^th April and 4th May 2024.

Please check the drop off and collection dates are ok for you before applying. It makes things very difficult for volunteers and other artists if you ask for early drop-offs or late collections as we have no storage space. We will accept up to 3 submissions per artist from 1^st April. We then aim to select at least one piece to include in the exhibition.

- Mediums accepted - 2D, 3D, sculpture, ceramics, glass, metal or digital.

- All work must be for sale and supplied ready to hang.

- There is no theme.

- There is no maximum price (Sprout commission is in our T&Cs below).

- There is no maximum size but we are unlikely to select more than one large piece of work due to the number of artists participating and gallery space.

The participation fee is £10. Contact us if this would cause hardship so we can help.

Graveney School Year 10 Exhibition

We are looking forward to hosting this fantastic show by talented youngsters from Graveney. This exhibition consists of a selection of work from the Year 10 GCSE Art students at Graveney School.

The artwork on display are final pieces from either their coursework or exam unit as well as smaller 3D outcomes. Students have worked on personal portfolios, investigating topics that are of importance to them and have explored a range of different materials and techniques, which are evident within these great artworks.
