First exhibition of the new terrace gallery

The work of our studio residents will be under the microscope for our first exhibition of 2020 on the 27th February…

Derek Hayes is an award-winning animator, currently teaching at Falmouth University, and an artist who likes to wrestle with the lessons of the great masters of art. Inspired as much by the Renaissance as by Picasso he would love to settle on one technique, but inevitably is drawn to any and all ways of saying something about the clash of ancient ideas and the modern world.

Lee Kellgren is a Cornwall-based printmaker specializing in limited-edition etchings and now also working in oil paint. Delicate and atmospheric original etchings using traditional copper plate. Using marks and acid with soft-ground, sugar-lift and aquatint to create prints that are like painterly landscapes. Also uses photogravure etchings to create subtle, otherworldly images about the quality of light in an image. She is currently working on using colour and layers in semi-figurative oil and acrylic paintings. After many years in Bristol as a member of Spike Print Studio, Lee now has a studio at Terrace Gallery, Penryn in Cornwall.

Dave Pentin is an artist and web developer who loves to get his hands dirty with pencils, paint and inks in his spare time. A design graduate of Falmouth School of Art, Dave picked up his pens and paintbrushes once again after a twenty-year gap while running art courses in the French Alps. Now permanently back in the Cornish landscape he is enjoying experimenting with gum arabic and acrylic inks, and running workshops to share this fascinating layering technique.

Others talented artists joining the list of exhibitors for 2020 are Ella Carty, Linda Matthews, Jon White, Adrian Holmes, Nicola Moseley, Corinne Detain, Andrew Barrowman and Ashley Hanson.
