About this event
Karen McEndoo
‘Bleary forms abut sharp blocks of colour generating a sense of movement; a dancing shift in focus. At first seemingly restful McEndoo’s work is imbued with a taut energy’
– Emma Leaper
Aidan Hicks was born in Penzance in 1966; he went on to study architecture and design but returned to his west Cornwall family farm in 1991. Drawing and painting has remained an incessant hobby and a several years ago, wanting three-dimensional expression, he began to experiment with sculpture. He likes to use all sorts of stone, even concrete, but has found that the richly textured and mineralised granite he sources from his farm has a very special appeal. He finds it very satisfying to take rock from earth that has both a personal and long family association and then re-form it into sculpture.
Rod Walker
“My paintings are figurative; their roots and inspirations are to be found in the world around me. I try not to copy reality but rather establish a relationship with it – altering and manipulating the colours, shapes and meanings to allow for a more personal understanding of the image. Materials are important in my work. I like to draw, especially from the human form and from any subjects I find interesting. My concerns are many and varied. I simply attempt to produce the works which seem most relevant to me at the time.”
Kinsley Byrne
“My work explores the making of furniture and symbolic artifacts through direct carving in wood and by modelling in plaster for bronze editions.
Born in Yorkshire, I studied furniture making at Leeds College of Art and Design, with placements at Ecole Boulle in Paris. I worked as a cabinet maker for David Linley and after a period of working on wooden boats and restoring and sailing my own gaff rigged cutter, I settled in Cornwall and continue to develop ideas in Art, Craft and Design.”
