Kathryn Gardner: Metallics

New Gallery Space – 9am to 4pm – Other times by appointment T. 020 8464 5816
An exhibition of paintings exploring the use of gold and silver finishes.
I live in Beckenham with my family and two dogs. I have been painting for over 30 years, mainly using watercolour but also acrylic, inks and mixed media.
This exhibition features paintings of well-known buildings or places and also some pieces which make a connection with song titles or musical compositions. In all the works I have used some form of metallic decoration.
In the past I have experimented with using sand and other natural materials to add texture to landscape paintings, and currently I am enjoying using shiny and raised finishes to add an extra dimension to my works.
Next year I will be spending a lot of time in Cornwall and plan to explore unusual ways of painting the many beautiful sea views.
