It seems as though we have a very exciting and proactive collection of artists here at Gallereo, who go a long way to making things happen and to have their work shown to a potentially adoring public.
How does an exhibition in a light house, on a small island off the North East coast of England sound? Like a challenge, right?
Well, a group of artists have managed to organise such an exhibition, and they should be proud of the fact.
Fragments, as the exhibition is titled, will be showing at St Mary's Lighthouse, in Whitley Bay, from 27th August, through to the 1st September.
This is the first time that an exhibition has been held on St Mary's Island and it will feature paintings, sculpture and photography from 6 artists.
Alysia Anne, and
Darren Shields are two of the artists that will be showing at the lighthouse, and are familiar to us here at Gallereo.
Alysia Anne joined us back in April. As a student from New Jersey, but currently studying at Northumbria University for a BA in Fine Art. Alysia works competently in both painting and photography, exploring form and colour, and using multiple exposures in her photography to created hauntingly layered images.
Darren has also been with us since April, and working under the alias Arctoa, specialises in the abstraction of photography, drawing on influences and inspirations from dreams, memories and the dislocation that can be found in alternate perceptions of reality.
If you want to go along and check out the show, make sure to take note of the
times of the tides so that you can time your trip to the lighthouse.
We'll be dropping by, so hope to see you there!
