Current Exhibitions
4th September 2009 until 29 October
Sirens - An Exhibition by Kate Webster

'Now the sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence.'
Franz Kafka 1917.

Kate Has always worked in oil paints, producing a whole array of differing images, based upon various subject matter. In her latest exhibition, however, she has chosen to pay homage to some of the glamorous female icons of 'The Dream Machine', the golden age of Hollywood.

Kate's paintings, executed in black and white, portray the crisply evocative images of the thirties, forties and fifties. Each image stares out from its own imprisoning canvas, isolated in a static timeless nostalgia. Her subjects are pictured as a series of 'stills'.

Faithful to an era in which cinematic special effects were still unknown, and which the main source of light was placed high up in front of the subject, her idealised portraits display faces in which the shadows of the skin texture are smoothed away, and facial contours are exaggerated. This gives them the dual quality of being Sirens, both goddess like and ghostly.


Forthcoming Exhibitions
Nov 7th - Dec 24th 2009,
‘Figuratively Speaking’
The focus for the show is contemporary figurative images created using machine embroidery. Artists taking part are Cathy Cullis, Alice Kettle, Michelle Holmes, Rachael Howard and Priscilla Jones. Images includes in the attachment are by Michelle Holmes.


Previous Exhibitions
26th June 2009 until 20th August 2009
Kirsten is inspired by collections of objects and natural form. Her paintings are bright and evocative with layers of detail and subtle references contained within. She depicts quirky arrangements of garments and treasured possessions such as shoes, crockery and foods, as well as observed still life and her beautiful imaginary gardens. Using layered fragments of maps, dictionary references and stamps from around the world Kirsten creates a narrative of secret histories, which evoke a memory or a sense of place.

The Washing Line
This series of paintings originated with a walk through the streets of Down along in St Ives, Cornwall. Outside one of the fisherman’s cottages was a washing line hung with every type of garment. All shapes and sizes (shoes and all!). It was as if a very big wave had unexpectedly soaked a whole family. The image seemed to capture the essence of holidays by the beach. This idea continued following a trip to New York in 2008, and Kirsten began painting a series of pieces exploring ideas around fashion.

Press Releases
I was driven to the Edge.
It’s exactly the right name for this uber-cool gallery, with cutting edge ideas in design – both the place itself and the exhibits on show. But the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the art is actually affordable. Ceramics, glass, jewellery, prints, all hand made and perfect as gifts
