This exhibition is a collection of work by Alison Revell, an artist based in Yorkshire for many years, and born in Northern Ireland.This is a free event to attend, artwork by Alison will be available to buy, on the day as well.
The collection is mixed media, largely watercolour and pastel, with a few taster pieces for a show later in the year featuring artists who work with photography.
Many artists describe their work as some kind of journey, maybe of discovery or process, maybe an exploration or learning. When I looked at this collection of work, I realised that a lot of them evolved out of a ‘crossing point’ or transition along the journey of my life. Many express an interpretation of the feelings and responses I experienced in particular situations, maybe just walking through the woods and thinking about what’s going on, maybe sitting on a mountainside and not thinking, just breathing, maybe just looking out the window listening to music. Some reflect love and hope, others grief and loss. And the interconnections, that moment at a crossroads. None of them are literal – they’re just an interpretation.
The paintings are many layered, they took a long time to complete. It was good to focus on the process and enjoy moments of discovery.
Painting for me is like song-writing. I pour my heart and soul onto the paper, like the words of a song. My hope is that the ‘song’ I paint reverberates with the audience and in whatever way causes some vibration.
Love and blessings everyone, carpe diem!
This event will be inside and upstairs in the dance studio
