Elizabeth Brown ‘Everything is Colour’ Exhibition ( PAW) 1-9 June

Elizabeth Brown

During Elizabeth’s career in post 16 art education, her photographic and mixed media work was widely exhibited in London and the Thames Valley. A change of location to the Purbeck’s meant it was time to review her medium, to slow down her process, and respond to the challenge of a new environment. A lifelong motivation and strong need to express her observations and thoughts, the journey to her studio at Sandy Hill Arts via Middlebere Heath, immediately made an impact. Each trip became so drenched in shifting colour and weather variations, that the overwhelming focus became to eliminate form to advance this meaningful experience using paint instead of the camera.

Devising an imaginary schematic – The DNA of Colour – underpins an 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 been to her studio 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
