Cynthia Barlow Marrs SGFA: The Portable Forest
26th June to 20th July 2012
Open eve 27th June 7-9pm

Part moonlit meadow, part sunlit wood, this exhibition transforms the New Gallery into a forest clearing. Stylized leaves, trees and blades of grass on canvas line the walls; a mural in many parts designed to be divided up and dispersed. “This is one forest you can take home with you,” Cynthia says, “one or more bits at a time”. With a background in environmental planning, Cynthia draws on her experience with landscapes around the world to convey sense impressions of space and light, using layers of coloured glazes for depth and atmosphere. Also on show are small graphite drawings from Cynthia’s Lunar Series.

The pictures also reflect the turning year, with images inspired by the different seasons.” Colin Anderson
