About this event

Art Exhibition of Ceramics and Oil Paintings

This exhibition explores how the artist interprets the same environment, working in different mediums.

Mary Kaun English and Martyn Perryman are partners who live in West Cornwall. Their home and studios are just a few minutes from the North Cliffs coastal path and the expansive sands of St Ives Bay. The couple met when attending Wimbledon College of Arts, London. Both graduated with BA (Hons) degrees in Fine Art. They share a fascination with the colour pallet and textures of the Cornish Landscape.

Mary’s ceramic pieces are a mixture of hand-built and thrown pieces. The locally sourced clay represents the earth itself and celebrates it’s natural aesthetic. Colour is very important to the work using earthly and organic tomes that reflect the surrounding landscape.

Martyn works in oils, on canvas and board. His paintings evolve over time as he builds up many layers of translucent paint to interpret the rhythm and energy of the ocean. He also works in mixed media when exploring the textures and moods of the landscape.
