Joy

Saturday 21st June until  Sunday 7th July.

Celebrating the summer months with swimmers, floral still life and seascapes from fine artists Sophie Moore and Alex Yarlett.

Through his work Alex Yarlett seeks to engage with the emotion of his surroundings to convey the dynamic story of the day he has experienced. Within this process, Alex gains inspiration from nature on location through spontaneous painting and sketching, using a mixture of fast line work and slow observational drawing in a range of materials. From his studio, Alex then slowly builds and blends layer upon layer of medium to evolve each piece into his unique, informed and emotive abstract expressive art.

Through her paintings, Sophie Moore enjoys creating characters, with stories, in a certain place and time. Usually walking the coast or swimming in the ocean or relaxing by the sea.

"The coast and ocean makes me feel a deep emotion, that I don't feel in any other part of my life. From this feeling, you will see that most of my characters facial expressions are lost in the moment or full of certainty and defiance. I hope that people feel a connection to a time, place or moment when they see my work. I love when my art finds a place in someone's home." SM
