ELEMENTAL: MARY-ROSE RILEY
LIGHT & DARK: BÄRBEL ULLRICH
30 March - 21 April 2013

Two separate exhibitions will feature in the Gallery this Autumn, Elemental: Mary-Rose Riley and Light & Dark: Bärbel Ullrich.  These two north east artists each explore different aspects of the landscape.

Mary-Rose Riley uses drawing, painting & printmaking to capture elements of her urban & rural surroundings.  Riley is interested in the “grey areas” that exist between the natural environment and the modern conveniences we enjoy. In this new body of work she has found beauty in both the “ugly, eco-unfriendly concrete” of a driveway, and dappled light over a high country landscape.

Bärbel Ullrich creates rich layers of mixed media to explore changing natural environments.  Her enigmatic work is meticulously arranged in grids and lines which emphasise the subtle visual progressions within each series, and allows the viewer to witness the gradual variations that occur in nature throughout time.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see these contrasting yet complementary exhibitions by two highly respected regional artists.

Exhibition Opening: 5.30pm Thursday 28th March
Guest Speaker: artist Ken Raff
