This Show is about the importance of people and places and their centrality to our well being and creativity. Each of our artists finds something intrinsically powerful in their local landscapes; of places, or people or both.
We will be featuring the work of 4 different and distinctive artists, Sula Rubens, Cornelia Ftizroy, Nahem Shoa and ceramicist Elaine Bolt:
Suffolk based artist Sula Rubens travels widely and immerses herself in the landscapes, and people she finds. Close observation is key to Sula's work. In 2017 she embarked on a series of work called "Kin" which is about people and their sense of place and each other. Sometimes the figures of people and animals are drawn on old maps as if to convey a sense of history and migration across countries and time. In all work Sula shows that love and kinship can endure, even in difficult circumstances.

November 2020 London and East Anglian Arborealists
In this show we will be working with Tim Craven curator and artist and The Arborealist Group, which Tim founded in 2013 after the critical success of Under the Green Wood : Picturing the British Tree, an exhibition he co-curated with Steve Marshall and Professor Anne Anderson at St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, Lymington, Hampshire. This exhibition was in two parts. Part one was an historical review of artists who had occupied themselves drawing and painting trees and tree-landscapes including, John Constable, Paul Nash and Paul Sanby amongst other nineteenth and twentieth century celebrated artists. Part two featured 32 contemporary artists, and included a Turner Prize short-listed and two Royal Academicians but also less well-known artists who had given trees, forests and woods a special value and who had developed new perceptions of painting and language while painting trees. We will be working with Tim to showcase the work of East Anglian and London Arborealists.
