Public Art Georges House Gallery Celebratory Arts Training & Education The Giants Project
Exhibition 

Coming together for the first time the contemporary painters Tina Atchison-Thomas and Harriet Gifford are showing new works at Georges House Gallery.

Harriet Gifford’s work inhabits the territory between abstraction and figuration and is inspired by dark skies and fading light.
Tina Atchison-Thomas describes her work as “a response to the landscape, concerned with the language of colour and light.”

The commonalities and contrasts of light, darkness, colour and texture in their work makes for a visually exciting exhibition.

Flights of Fancy 
An investigation into the concept of ‘White Cube’ as the contemporary gallery space, by ten members of Ashford Visual Artists. This intervention is the fruition of a one year collaboration between artists, resulting in sound, and sculpture, in paper and mixed media which swarm and swoop, filling the gallery with individual flights of fancy. Munroe, Jane Richardson, Mary Sampson, Ron Sampson and Carol Stump address issues around communication, containment, fragility and flight within the framework of the cube.
Specular Reflection: The White Show 
‘Specular Reflection: The White Show’ – encompassing light, reflection and the restriction of the colour palette. An exhibition of new work by White Shed artists consisting of painting, sculptures, mixed media and installation works. ‘White is a word often associated with 'blank', but white reflects and absorbs subtle nuances of colour from light itself. The subtlety of white requires close attention, inner reflection and calm - qualities hard to find in a saturated world’
Memories of Summer  
After several successful art shows in The Netherlands, Strange Cargo is very pleased to announce Martine Pieck’s next solo exhibition entitled “Memories Of Summer” from July 23 until August 4. Martine will exhibit paintings of objects and landscapes brought to life with a summer theme.
Residence 
The photographs on display form part of an on-going body of work created at the homes of former artists and writers throughout the south of England, and were taken over a three month residency at Bateman’s, the former home of Rudyard Kipling.
Elemental 
An exhibition of mind and matter – a visual investigation into the primal experience.
