Colourful exhibition in town
A COLOURFUL EXHIBITION opening in December in Hinckley’s Atkins Gallery is ideal for brightening up wintery days.
‘Colour in a Monochrome World’, which runs from December 6 to January 2, is a fusion of colourful pieces from two local artists and will be a vibrant finish to the Atkins Gallery 2017 programme.
Penny Andrews, a textile artist, and Colin Ward, a Fine artist, first met while studying for a Master’s Degree in Fine Art in 2005 and they have exhibited work together ever since.
Penny uses her psychotherapy background as inspiration for her work looking at the way young children interpret the world and what impact childhood experiences can have on their future lives.
Penny also explores how negative events can impact creativity.
Colin’s work is inspired by people and nature and unusual combinations of art materials, mixing glass, ceramics, fabric and acrylic.
Their work explores diversity and the differences found within society told through a multimedia exhibition including a large installation piece called ‘Masks’.
Anyone who wishes to meet the artists, to learn more about their inspiration and view the pieces on display, is welcome to come along to the official opening of the exhibition on today (Wednesday December 6) from 4pm6pm in the Atkins Gallery.
