Imprints
Krystina Stimakovits & Maria Storey
March 25 – 3rd April, Tues to Sunday 11am to 5pm
PV Wednesday 26 March. 6 to 8:30pm
Krystina Stimakovits: An everyday encounter with a configuration of lines and shapes that somehow resonates and imprints itself gets turned into a clear design. This design adapts as it requires wilful incisions using sharp tools and hand pressure on wooden spoons when printing. Invariably the resulting image surprises and like music continues henceforth to elude any precise meaning and comprehension.
In her mid 40s Krystina studied Fine Art at Camberwell. Following jobs in independent film and urban regeneration she has pursued photography and printmaking since 2006. Her works have featured in international magazines and in solo and group exhibitions in London, Cambridge and various European cities such as Barcelona, Budapest, Rome, Porto. @kristinastima
Maria Storey: is an artist who makes original prints using relief and intaglio techniques in the form of lino cuts, wood blocks and etchings. She draws inspiration from her love of nature and of the wildlife that inhabits London and the English countryside. Her prints are all hand printed limited editions. @mariastoreyprints
The Abstract Picture Show
APRIL 7 – 19, 11am to 5pm daily
Meet The Artists Event - Tuesday 7 April, 6:30 to 8:30pm
For our special Abstract Art Exhibition, there are 27 local artist-members displaying their approach to working with colour, shape and line to produce paintings which feel just right, even though no recognisable objects are represented.
A few of the works do veer towards representation, and organic shapes, elements of landscape and still life objects can be seen, but the figurative aspects are there to form the basis for abstract qualities of colour, texture, shape and line.
‘Take a line for a walk’ was the approach and philosophy of the artist Paul Klee. As an Art student we were always encouraged to play with lines, shapes and colours, to free our imagination and explore and enjoy colour and shape for its own qualities, and even now I often turn to this approach to picture construction.
It’s the pure enjoyment of applying colour to canvas and the excitement of producing something new and innovative. That’s what I hope you will see when you visit the Abstract Picture Show.
