The artists and makers we present live and work in rural locations, or include the natural world in their subject matter or production process. They look creatively beyond the passing trend and foster greater consideration for nature, as its appreciation and preservation becomes ever more prescient to our time. (Left ©Tim Simmons)
Born in Glasgow, Natalie Lang graduated from Norwich University College of the Arts in 2011 with a first degree honors in painting. It was there that she made a discovery of some slides in a skip that began her painting journey, via found landscapes. this body of work explores concepts of authorship, projection, memory, delusion, falsehood and lies. Her images are often banal snapshots that contain within them a tension between the external and internal landscape, layered with a haunting element of the ‘uncanny’.
Just as we are contemplating the last lentil at the back of the store cupboard, today is World Environment Day – (see links for more information at the end of this newsletter). For many this concern stretches way beyond a single day of course, but it does give us pause to consider this incredibly important challenge we will all share in the months ahead, as life opens up again.
Thanks to Dominic Castle, Editor of Norfolk magazine. It's June edition, just published, features Contemporary and Country on pp52 and 53 - take a look when you get your copy of the magazine this month. We hope you enjoy the range of work we are able to show online, if there is an artist you are particularly interested in please let us know and we can put together a collection of their work for you to see on screen in the comfort of your own home.
Norfolk based artist Kate Giles often works in series and in one place over a sustained period. The latest additions to our online showroom include these works painted in and around Great Bircham, North Norfolk. A second set of work captures the essential energy of Spring in local orchards.
Each of the painters featured in our latest newsletter capture the splendor of the sea and landscapes of our region, depicting the beauty of coastal reaches, open fields, fens and woodland. All examine aspects of familiar places now distant and yearned for as we observe lock-down conditions. Read on to discover more about Kate Giles, Will Cutts, Natalie Odile Lang and Pandora Mond
