Elizabeth Brown ‘Everything is Colour’ Exhibition ( PAW) 1-9 June
During Elizabeth’s career in post 16 art education, her photographic and mixed media work was widely exhibited including at The River & Rowing Museum – Henley-on-Thames, The Henley Festival, Bankside Gallery – London, Grant Bradley Gallery – Bristol, The London Salon of Photography and The Centre for Photographic Art – Carmel, California.
The move to Purbeck, a lifelong motivation and the source of a strong need to express her observations and thoughts, meant a review of her medium to face the challenge of a new landscape. The commute to her studio at Sandy Hill Arts is through Middlebere Heath. Each trip becomes so drenched in shifting colour and variety that the overwhelming focus is to eliminate form to better advance this meaningful experience. Devising an imaginary schematic – The DNA of Colour – underpins an initial abstract approach with a stronger conceptual foundation. Using just colour to investigate this landscape liberates both it and the artist, and gives context and theory to these visual building blocks.
Elizabeth’s DNA series was selected for the Dorset Visual Arts “Instinct of Hope’ exhibition at Durlston Country Park in 2024, as well as The Royal West of England Academy of Arts 171st Open Exhibition in Bristol. She is excited to be showing her work at Sandy Hill Arts during Purbeck Art Weeks for her solo exhibition in June and welcomes seeing the many visitors who have visited her studios in the past, to call in for a chat and see her developing ideas and new works.
Private view 3-5 pm Sunday 1 June with an artist talk at 3.30pm
