We know that many of you who visit Gallerina will have at some point met & chatted to some of our lovely artists as they are often popping in, however a space which remains very private for most artists is their studio, we are occasionally lucky enough to visit & have a look around an artists studio & we find them really interesting spaces where all of the magic happens..... so we thought we would ask some of the artists to take photographs of their studios & share them with us....
First up is Paul Denham....
Paul's oil paintings are on board and dotted around the studio are antlers & pieces of sharpened wood which he uses to score & scar the boards, this is a big part of his work & is a sculptural approach at first, the 'scars' he creates are then the backbone of the painting.
Paul also uses thick cotton rag paper for his 'studies' a different, gentler approach is used for these, they are mixed media, using, among other things watercolour, charcoal & peat.
For more information on Paul or any of our artists please don't hesitate to call us on 01325 363635.
