Beautiful paintings by Linda Cook, and delicate porcelain by Jacqueline Seymour-Hall. These two artists' work, while unrelated, compliment each other well.
Cook's paintings and prints focus on looking upwards and outwards, as her theme "Big Sky" invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and vastness of what is above us all, rather than get lost in the mundane, depressing and disturbing world we see in the media.
"I choose to lift my eyes to the sky and my heart lifts, it’s bigger, it is beyond my comprehension, the sublime delight of nature allows me to escape the now, the past, and the fears of the future; there is beauty, if only I look."
Seymour-Hall's porcelain figures have an other-worldly quality, and appear to have arrived quite by accident from some delightful far-flung place. Jacqueline's careful, painstaking treatment of her figures with metallic lustre glazes is unique, and lends them an ethereal, timeless quality.
Opening Friday January 18th at 5pm, the exhibition runs in the Yvonne Rust Gallery until Saturday the 9th of February.
