New gallery exhibition- Edwina Broadbent

Exhibition of paintings by Edwina Broadbent at Trereife House Gallery, Newlyn, from Friday 3^rdSeptember to Thursday 16^th September.

Well known local artist, Edwina Broadbent, will be exhibiting her dynamic and colourful paintings in the atmospheric old stable block gallery at Trereife House near Newlyn, during the first two weeks of September.

Although the landscape of West Penwith is generally the starting point, her paintings teeter between the figurative and the abstract. The development of each painting is governed by the sheer joy of discovering unexpected colour relationships and the driving marks that form the composition.

As Cornwall Today wrote of her paintings, ‘ She enjoys exploring the fluid movement and relationships of colour piling up and breaking like a wave, the transparencies and opacities of paint as in the depths and surfaces of water, the varied textures of the natural world, and the forces of the rectangle restraining and challenging like the ancient towers, stones and trees braced against the wind’

Her use of paint as an expressive medium is derived from her love of the work of Rembrandt and Velasquez as well as the great 20^th century modernists such as Franz Kline, de Kooning, Lanyon and Hitchens.

Edwina moved to Cornwall in 2002 after retiring early from teaching art in various schools in Hertfordshire. She now works from her studio at her home above Mousehole looking out over the sea. She is a member of the St Ives Society of Artists and is represented in many local galleries.

The exhibion at Trereife is open every day from Friday 3^rd September until Thursday 16^th, the gallery is open from 10am to 5pm every day including Saturday and Sunday.
