Mixed Exhibition

Sophie’s Steak House by Jeremy Jones (Oils)

Carre Gallery presents an exhibition of work in a range of different media from a variety of Lincolnshire artists. All work is available for purchase.

In the Candlesby Room we are also exhibiting the competition entries for our Haiku Competition – winners to be announced soon.

The exhibition is open 10 am – 4 pm Mon to Sat 14 May until 09 June.

We continually accept work from artists for our mixed exhibitions and will occasionally rearrange this exhibition as exhibits sell and new work arrives.

Following this exhibition Textile Lincs will stage a two-week exhibition to commemorate 20 years of successfully producing and exhibiting textile art.

Performing Art Exhibition and Poetry Competition

Last-minute Touches by Baz East

Paintings and Haiku

Once again Carre Gallery supports Sleaford Live by staging a two-week exhibition of images celebrating performing arts.  The Sleaford Hub Writers will create Haiku poetry especially for these images and each short poem will be added to the exhibition alongside its partner image for Sleaford Live Week (04 – 13 May).

You too are invited to drop into the gallery and compose Haiku on the theme of performing arts, taking your inspiration from the exhibition.  Haiku is three lines long and ideally (but not necessarily) contains 17 syllables arranged in the order 5-7-5 as shown in the example below, which also contains your instructions!

Hey Hamlet, your dad's calling again! by Neville Hull

Performing Arts Haiku

Look at a painting,

See colour, movement and life –

Then let your words sing.

Write your Haiku on the simple entry form (available in the gallery) and hand in at the desk.  Prizes will be awarded for best modern Haiku in two age categories, under 16 and over 16.  There will also be an award for the best traditional Haiku.

In the Mood by Carol Bratley

The Somersby and Bainton rooms have an excellent mixture of images on the theme of Performing Art while the Candlesby room displays a mixed exhibition of various subject matter to give you a wide source of inspiration. Anyone can do it, young or old; so come in and have a go.

Exhibition Opening:  10 am – 4 pm every day from Mon 30 April until Sat 12 May.

Lincolnshire Open Studios – Taster Exhibition

‘Art on the Map’ Members Exhibition

 This two-week ‘taster’ exhibition features ‘Art on the Map’ members in the Fens and Vales and runs just prior to the Lincolnshire Open Studios week (05 May – 13 May) when most members will open their studios to the public.  The taster exhibition is an ideal opportunity to see a little of each artist’s excellent work and be inspired to visit their studios to see more.

Frog Blossom - Mosaic by Fiona Gurney

Exhibition co-coordinator Lind Anso says, “People often have the perception that artists do not like being disturbed.  We want the public to know that our members are happy to receive visitors and discuss their work.  We like to share our enthusiasm for art.”

There is an eclectic mix of styles and media including ceramics, paintings, drawings, glass, printing, photography and textiles. Exhibiting artists are Lind Anso, Martin Cameron, Joan Dowling, Jess Fuller, Fiona Gurney, Lyn Jenkins, Steve Leaning, Geoff Loveridge, Lyn Lovitt, Anita Mortimer, Liz Pearson, Louise Stebbing, John Sutton and Helen Webber.

Artists and Guests at the private view

The taster exhibition is open every day, 10 am – 4 pm from Monday 16 April until Saturday 28 April.

Lincolnshire Open Studios Week is from 05 May until 13 May.  Pick up a FREE directory of artists at Carre Gallery.

Jana Siebers – Drawings and Paintings

Veil of Being-Water. Pencil, Gouache & Oil on Paper. Jana Siebers.

Award-winning Jana Siebers is no stranger to the Carre Gallery.  She has previously staged an exhibition here and is a regular contributor to our open exhibitions.  In 2010 she was overall winner in the prestigious Carre Summer Open Exhibition.

Veil of Being - Life Quilt. Pencil & Gouache on Paper. Jana Siebers.

Jana says, “I like exhibiting here.  There is space to stand back and appreciate larger pieces while the intimate feel allows you to get close up to see the fine detail.  I think this is essential for my drawings”

Gallery regulars will know that Jana was scheduled to exhibit at the Carre Gallery in December 2011 but had to cancel due to illness.  A healthy-looking Jana explains, “I wanted to give this exhibition all my energy but I was unable to do so; Carre Gallery kindly agreed to postpone until spring 2012.”  It was worth the wait.

As well as displaying her art Jana has a large selection of printed and hand-crafted cards for sale, so why not buy an alternative Easter greeting which will be enjoyed long after the chicks and bunnies have been consigned to the cupboard?  You are, of course, invited to buy framed work too.

Drawings and Paintings runs for two weeks from 31 March until 14 April 2012.  The gallery will be open every day including all of the Easter weekend.  Jana will be at the gallery from 1 pm every day at the weekends and during the Easter holiday.

Mixed Exhibition

Cat by Anita Mortimer

After the extremely popular Winham Hime Memorial Exhibition by Malcolm Doughty we have a short five-day mixed exhibition of paintings and prints.  On Saturday 31 March Jana Seibers’ exhibition opens in the Carre Gallery to coincide with the Sleaford Art Event being held in the Civic Suite of North Kesteven Council Offices in Eastgate, a short walk from Carre Gallery.  Jana’s exhibition will be open on both Saturday and Sunday so art-lovers can enjoy both exhibitions in a single visit to this lovely town.

The Mixed Exhibition will be open 10 am – 4 pm every day until Fri 30 March.

The Windham Hime Memorial Exhibition 2012

Now and Then – An exhibition of paintings by Malcolm Doughty

Malcolm Doughty and Guests

This year’s invited artist, Malcolm Doughty has been a professional artist for the last 39 years. Although he paints to commission with a wide variety of subject matter, he endeavours to keep the emphasis on all things Lincolnshire, its landscape, towns, villages and characters.

Sunset, Snow and Frost by Malcolm Doughty

In spite of his long career and popularity as an artist Malcolm  admits it is quite some time since he staged a solo exhibition.  Although trying to make the subject matter as broad as possible, including portraits and an abstract, he is drawn to his local landscapes.

In a recent interview with the Sleaford Standard he says: “Even after 39 years of recording parts of Lincolnshire I still get a great deal of inspiration within walking distance of my home between Ancaster an South Rauceby.”

“I tend to focus on overlooked corners and byways but there are a few well-known views that I couldn’t resist and one with historical interest to Sleaford people.”

Malcolm’s art and poetry were featured in last year’s Poetry, Paintings and Prose exhibition at Carre Gallery last year, and he has included some of his Lincolnshire-inspired poems in this exhibition.

The exhibition is open 10 am – 4 pm, Mon – Sat  from 12 March until 24 March.

Separate Rooms

Wolds Spring by Tina H Robson

Bainton Room:  From East to West by Tina H Robson:

This exhibition has been inspired by Tina’s walks in the gentle landscape and open coastline of Lincolnshire and contrasting exploration of the landscapes of Pembrokeshire.  Tina has lived in Benniworth, near Horncastle, since the spring of 2008.  She is a qualified artist/tutor with a BA (Hons) in Illustration and a PGCE in Art.  After working for a number of years in Education and Design she made the commitment in 2011 to devote herself full-time to her art.  She now paints from her studio at Top Farm and ‘en plein air’ elsewhere.

Between the Devil and the Deep by Kaye Miller-Dewing

Candlesby Room: An Eclectic Array by Kaye Miller-Dewing

Until recently Kaye worked mainly with watercolour and gouache but is becoming increasingly experimental, alternating between various media including acrylic, oil, enamel and other mixed media along with an emergence of 3D pieces.  Her work has developed from predominantly fine art to include more abstract and impressionistic work, testing colour and effect of different forms of application and approaches.  The combination of one medium with another affords each one a transformation beyond itself alone.  Kaye’s ultimate aim is to create pieces that inspire and bring happiness and optimism.  She presents her subject matter in an alternative form to the norm, in an unusual format or arrangement, from a different angle or perspective.  She always strives to impart a sense of life or movement, depth or emotion in her work imbuing the finished piece with an innate life and ability to continue changing.
