Loving Nature. An art exhibition at PZ Gallery, Penzance, 18 Nov to Dec 2, 10-4 daily,
Plus Wed 23rd Nov an evening of performance and music.
The four artists here have created a pleasant atmosphere, displaying their works in a calm uncluttered way.
George Clement Peer has made a comfortable corner where you can sit in an arm chair and hear through headphones him reading his poetry, which is available in a small edition of hand sewn booklets.
Ian Barnfield was painting in situ when I visited and willing to talk to visitors. His paintings simplify a seascape such as the Cot Valley using a limited palette of orangey browns with blue.
Mel Stokes explains that she likes to go barefoot to feel connected to the landscape and her paintings are delicately coloured and the images drawn with a lively energy.
Angela Annesley uses woodcuts to make a dramatic impact with for example an image of a wolf.
She also has printed on lengths of fabric which hang attractively in the window.
Her small paintings use clearly defined line and glossy paint to celebrate what she has observed.
A show which gives the visitor variety and a relaxing opportunity to enjoy strolling about in the spacious gallery, which, although being a valued Art Deco structure alongside the Jubilee Lido and the Yacht Inn, is under threat of demolition for redevelopment.
