A diptych I've just finished as a commission to commemorate  life in Benghazi before and during the six day war in 1967.  The patterns and symbols denote events and locations at that time.  There are a number of jokes and stories embedded within each painting, which are a challenge for the client to solve.  A pity they weren't finished in time to show in the Cranleigh exhibition.  They go to America in November.

NineTENths opens at Cranleigh Arts Centre

It's finally arrived, the latest exhibition by Ten is fully installed and opens tomorrow (Tuesday 7th October 2014) at Cranleigh Arts Centre.

Members of the group gathered on a rainy Monday morning to hang the work and even with a couple of breaks for coffee we finished in record time and were done by 2.30pm - clearly we are getting practiced at this!

The final exhibition 

As well as showing our work in the beautiful gallery space above, the group were also offered the opportunity to show extra work in a smaller gallery area at Cranleigh Arts Centre.  The Glass Gallery is a large glass fronted cabinet which allowed us to show a mixture of work, some of which is very delicate.

This latest exhibition, "NineTENths" opens on Tuesday 7th October  and runs until Saturday 1st November 2014 at Cranleigh Arts Centre (1 High Street, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 8AS) and is open for viewing from 10.00 am to 4.30pm Tuesday to Saturday.

Counting down again...

It's now only 3 weeks until the next Ten group exhibition opens on 7th October at Cranleigh Arts Centre (1 High Street, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 8AS).  On until 1st November the exhibition is  open Tuesdays to Saturdays 10.00am to 4.30pm.  Do come down, we'd love to see you!

Artists' Bloc opens at the Oxmarket!

The Oxmarket Centre of Arts, Chichester

A hot, sunny Monday saw the members of the Ten Group of Artists gather at the Oxmarket Centre of Arts in Chichester to hang the latest exhibition of their work.  Titled "Artists' Bloc" the exhibition showcases work which has all been made within defined constraints which were; a square format of 30 cms blocks and a triptych designed to hang vertically.  An additional wall of work is also on show using the same square format, but this time 15 cms square.
