LANDSCAPES OF THOMAS HARDY'S WESSEX
Original artworks inspired by the writing of Thomas Hardy
21 April to 16 June 2012
The exhibition is made up of contemporary works, including charcoal drawings, prints, steel etchings and oil paintings, by Rob Pountney, Dave Gunning and David Inshaw, depicting the spectacular landscapes and ancient archaeological sites that feature in the novels and novels of Thomas Hardy.
Each artist has selected specific works which show their varied and eclectic response to the places described in Hardy's fictionalised 'Wessex'. The works focus attention on the physical and atmospheric qualities of the landscape in much the same way that Hardy used prose to generate melodrama and set the scene in his work.
Many of the works in this exhibition are for sale. Entry to the exhibition is free.
