'Fair Ground' annual exhibition at Glyndebourne
I am most delighted to have been asked to show four paintings at this year’s annual exhibition 'Fair Ground' at Glyndebourne from 11th November - 18th December 2023.
Exhibition includes painting, works on paper, print, drawings, and textile pieces from 22 artists across Sussex.
Two of my paintings are hanging in their contemporary art gallery & the other two in the Old Green room.
The title is taken from a musical stanza in Rudyard Kipling’s famous poem, Sussex, in which he describes the county as ‘beloved over all’. A hymn to the beauty of place, Kipling saw his enchantment with Sussex as deeply rooted in an understanding of locality, a belief that the cottages, hedgerows, green rolling hills, seafronts, hidden coves and woodlands were all an integral part of connecting real people to their historical pasts.
Each of the selected works in Fair Ground speaks to this idea of myth and memory, continuing to mark Sussex as a place of visual poetry.
If you would like to attend the Private View on Wednesday 22nd November from 5pm - 7pm please RSVP by Friday 17th by emailing artandcollections@glyndebourne.com use the same email for all other enquiries about the Fair Ground exhibition.
