‘From Everson’s Boat Yard’ by David Green

Mar08 - Jovan Djordjevic, artist and international illustrator will be presenting a number of artworks. These will include a selection of recently created ceramics, as well as some intriguing imagery constructed over the last year whilst living and practicing in Wivenhoe: some things inspired by his regular forays to the Co-Op! The show also coincides with a parallel exhibition at the Digby Gallery in Colchester ’s Mercury Theatre. All works will be available for purchase as well as commissions undertaken.
Jan08 - Exciting mixed media exhibition by the Backyard group of artists who were founded in Rowhedge on the other side of the river. They are a disparate group but all have a commitment to making work, to supporting and inspiring each other, and growing through their work. Their name reflects the fact that most of them work at home in small spaces, juggling the activity with looking after families and earning a living.

Oct07 - Robina Jack will be showing some of her brilliantly coloured glass panel from 1st to 31st October 2007. Open Monday to Saturday 9.30-1.00 and  2.00-5.30.
Sep07 - Paul Rumsey works in charcoal. This year, he says, his picture for the gallery is even more unpleasant than usual! Three skeletal figures running across a dark landscape........ The exhibition runs from 1 - 30 Sept Mon-Sat 9.30-5.30 (closed 1-2) 
July07 - From 1 - 31 July, Annie Bielecka Exhibition. New work 'Glimpses of Mexico' reflecting impressions of Annie's recent travels there, using fabric as paint, moving the materials on canvas - using a needle instead of a brush. Annie said: "Planning work for this tiniest of galleries is challenging". For more about Annie Bielecka, click here
Mar07 - We are very excited to be showing once again the work of Dale Mann. Dale is a self-taught artist currently based in Sudbury who understands both his own work and that of other artists in a deep and intuitive way. His works are evocative, often shocking, funny, and need to be seen and experienced in order to connect with their extraordinary beauty. He says of his work " My small scale works fuel the larger paintings which I approach knowing exactly the feeling I want to express. The surface of the painting is hugely important to me and is most of the meaning of the painting. A completed work is not made but emerges through a process of action and struggle and in this way narrative and form are created simultaneously."
Feb07 - Coastal Inspiration. An exhibition of watercolours by  Suffolk-based artist David Green. Nine watercolours are on show from the series ‘48 Abstracts and Fragments’, depicting scenes from beach, boatyard and the water’s edge. Inspired by walks around the coasts and estuaries of East Anglia , they were also greatly influenced by the patterns and rhythms of Bach’s Preludes and Fugues.
