Five Thanet artists are showing at Marine Studios as part of Summer Squall. The studio will be open 11-4 on the 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th and 27th. Look forward to seeing you – here’s a snapshot of the five artists:
• Lesley Gray grew up in Zambia, Central Africa. She’s been drawn to the sea ever since she studied art at Michael's School of Art, University of Cape Town. She’s now settled in Ramsgate to capture Thanet skies and sea.
• Col Longmore will show his series of paintings titled ‘Horns’. He sees horns as symbols of bestial power and courage that have had an abiding attraction for artists since the time of cave art.
• Samantha Scott lives in Ramsgate and draws inspiration from the local population. Her oil-on-canvas paintings often place figures on bright-coloured backgrounds that focus viewers on the captured moment.
• Denis Smith is an artist and photographer who worked for major ad agencies in London and across Europe but is now a full-time artist. His exhibition and commissioned work is gaining a reputation in the south east of England.
• Joan Ward has been making felt for about 20 years. First she makes the felt and nuno felt – where loose fibres are bonded to a sheer fabric. Then she makes it into wearable hats, slippers, bags and coats.
