Headington Artweeks - Painters

You are spoiled for choice this year with the painters who are exhibiting in Headington as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.  Here is a quick overview of the great artists you will be able to see...

Kathy Turner - venue 295

An exhibition of colourful and atmospheric landscapes. This years' collection includes several paintings inspired by a recent visit to St Ives, Cornwall. Kathy likes to use a range of media to create texture and light.

 





Jane Strother - venue 296

Contemporary landscapes in oil or acrylic exhibited in her house and garden studio. This is a large solo exhibition, mostly paintings and some original collagraph, drypoint or lithographic prints and many sketchbooks which are always popular. 


Ella Clocksin - venue 299

Professional open studio exhibition of contemporary mixed media and abstract watercolour. Introducing two new projects: the Visual Haiku, and Landscripts series reference Shotover Hill, Rock Edge, and experience that is not easily articulated at the borders of language and perception.


Jane Beinart - venue 300

As well as her bold coloured prints, Jane will be showing a new series of reflective pieces reminiscent of the sea and sky. Each piece in her series captures a moment, a play of the light in the water or the wisp of the clouds across the horizon.  Plus her new mini series of unique, framed abstract pieces which capture tiny and evocative abstract landscapes.



All Saints Artists (a collective show) - venue 302

This collective show will include the following painters:






“Stuart sees the play of light as if refracted through
a prism. He builds his compositions through
gestural marks working in much the same way
as the Impressionists, creating compositions that
dance on the canvas.”
Jenny Blyth Fine Art Oxford refracted Art Jericho January 2016


Jennifer Byrne - venue 303

Jennifer's first Artweeks exhibition was in 2014 as a novice painter. Three years on and time for her second exhibition. Her journey continues taking her from still life to landscapes, views inspired by walking Oxfordshires footpaths.


Rosemarie Deepwell - venue 304

An exhibition of watercolours and pastels.


Harriet Eagle - venue 306

Harmonious oil paintings of scenes and settings that have inspired Harriet, plus a collection of monochrome drawings and prints.
