It’s TODAY!!! Come and visit our wonderful exhibition in the heart of Besutiful Tenterden!
Last night we were busy putting up Tenterden Artists’ Autumn Exhibition. We are open TODAY and TOMORROW!
Brighten up what is predicted to be a very wet weekend by coming to see our fabulous artists’ work. It’s a real feast for the eyes!
Tenterden Artists’ Autumn Show…28th and 29th October, 18 Artists, one great exhibition in the lovely market town of Tenterden! Easy parking, fun day out, lots to see and do in the town as well as lovely independent cafes and shops. We’ve got it all!
Come and visit our annual and very popular show and perhaps take a little bit home with you!
Here’s a lovely compilation of our wonderful guest artists at our forthcoming autumn exhibition!
Not only are they outstanding artists in their chosen media, they are also a lovely bunch of humans!
Come and say hello and hear about their inspiration and working practices!
Even better, buy an original piece of artwork for yourself or as a gift!
Cards and prints also available and looking is free!
The serene and delicate branches that trail across the work of Scarlett Woodman and that lend her paintings such softness, belie the degree of endeavour that lies beneath!
Scarlett uses both constructive and destructive techniques, often scratching through the paint to reveal the earthy base layers of her reclaimed material.
It’s what makes her work so different and exciting. Why not come and visit our exhibition and see more of Scarlett’s work, as well as 17 other artists working across different media!
Alison Olorunsola’s latest series, ‘Treescapes’, are digital images developed from her photographs of trees looking from below up into space. A response to news items in 2023 about climate change, ‘Dystopian Trees’ highlights the fragile relationship we have with these majestic giants.
Both Alison’s digital and textile artwork can be seen at our exciting and diverse exhibition in Tenterden next weekend. Look out for our signs and don’t forget to pay us a visit!
Sue Fields enjoys making small editions of vessels that are inspired by organic forms. These often reflect the seasons in which they are created, for instance, sea-themed in the summer and seedhead/tree themed in the autumn.
She makes her own glazes and uses as many locally found materials as possible, grounding her work to the environment both physically as well as conceptually.
Sue’s work can be seen next weekend at Tenterden Artists’ Autumn Show alongside 17 other exceptional creatives.
Landscapes are the main narrative of Megan Yelets’ work, although the paintings often describe atmosphere rather than being literal representations.
Smaller shapes and forms within the landscape such as wet beach pebbles, winter leafless branches, animal tracks, hedgerows and long evening shadows may also find their way into her compositions, adding depth to the translucent layers of colour.
We look forward to welcoming visitors to our group show in just over a week’s time!
Brenda Hartill’s main love is to abstract the essence of the landscape into richly coloured textured works, often enhancing these with silver and gold leaf.
Her work is experimental, abstract and embossed. Collagraphs, etchings, watercolours, collages and encaustic works all express her unique style which reflects her background in theatrical design.
We’re thrilled to have her work at what promises to be a corker of an exhibition in just over a week’s time!
Polly Bennett is an environmental artist “portraying the land, with the land” through traditional craftsmanship, using locally sourced materials that guide her process. Looking at site-specific historical context, combined with a museological approach to materials, she collaborates with, and investigates the surrounding rural environment to re-visualise her experience within it. The concluding work recollects the explored environment as a souvenir. We are delighted to have Polly’s work and that of 17 multi-disciplinary artists at our eagerly awaited Autumn Show!
Whether walking in woods or alongside hedgerows, Birgitta Wilson is always drawn to the textures to be found in trees and plants and love to focus on small areas…flowers gone to seed, decaying leaves, a tangle of stems, peeling bark, reflections in puddles. As a printmaker, she chooses to express some of this through collagraphs and solar plate etchings.
Birgitta’s lyrical work will be at our Autumn Show on the 28th and 29th October.
Through her art Jane Cordery explores our sense of connection; what we 'root' to or with, not just to each other but to: place, landscape/environment, our history, memories and social culture.
In exploring these connections she is interested in what happens when we become socially disconnected, when a rupture happens, such as: war, climate change, migration, loss, bereavement, ill health or social change; things that happen that provoke human frailty.
Jane’s work can be seen at our forthcoming show…an opportunity not to be missed!
We are really fortunate to be showing the work of Rowan Crew at our forthcoming show.
Rowan is a senior member of the Royal Society of British Artists and has many prestigious awards and prizes to his name.
His painting is a personal and emotional attempt at the understanding of the beauty and complexity of the visual world that surrounds us.
Do come and visit the exhibition to really appreciate the complexity of his work, and to view work from an amazing array of 17 more artists working in a variety of media.
Annie Catford is a photographer and filmmaker. Her subjects are many and varied….skies, plants, landscapes, shadows, train journeys to name a few.
Like a hunter, Annie goes out day and night to capture her images before bringing them back to her studio for processing!
See Annie’s photographs and film at our imminent show and experience a diverse range of media by our other artists too.
Vivien Oldfield is an artist and photographer with a background in textile design. She creates digital photomontages and fine art prints that reflect the beauty and intrigue of the natural world.
The work crosses various genres as she experiments with colour and form, light and shade, texture and movement to express her artistic vision. Vivien will be exhibiting with Tenterden Artists at our autumn show…we can’t wait!
Rowena McWilliams uses oils, collage and mixed media to respond emotionally to ideas, words, thoughts and images. Movement, colour and mark-making are key elements.
Always experimental, Rowena’s work is best seen ‘in the flesh’. Enjoy Rowena’s pieces, and the work of 17 other diverse artists at our Autumn Show….coming soon!
We are lucky to have Simon Guy exhibiting with us at the end of the month.
Simon will be showing work across a range of interests including pieces made from wild clay, pouring vessels based on designs going back to Roman times and pit/barrel fired pieces like these beauties!
Lovely to see our posters going up in Tenterden and the surrounding villages ahead of our exhibition at the end of the month! Big thanks to our sponsors Hobbs Parker Estate Agents for putting them up for us!
