The November exhibition is an interesting one on so many levels. Its a five artist exhibition, with artists ranging from 20something to 80something and an emphasis on trying new things. So we have a very colourful range of abstract paintings from Moira Morriss (whose artwork is usually in the form of stone carving), and some complex and intriguing cyanotypes from Jaine Thonton-Weeks as well as some of her quirky little monsters made from shoe lasts, rusted tools and corkscrews!
Judy Haslam-Jones is always offering something new and amazing and she offers us some porcelain gloves, lace handkerchiefs and purses modelled on vintage possessions passed down by her great aunts Amy and Emily. In total contrast to this white collection she also shows chairs based on modern art styles. Altogether something to come and see for yourselves.
Jane Tilley and Carmen Tilley, mother and daughter artists, won the Art at the Alex 2D and 3D prize last year and their exhibition space was part of that prize. Both are showing work which is a new departure. While Carmen’s work ‘Henry’ from the Rugby Open 2025 is the work that caught our attention and won the prize she has added new work in textiles. Jane is showing more of the Egon Schiele inspired work that we have seen before, she also is showing for the first time some striking clay and wire sculptures.
Altogether a stunning show!
