 David Mayer
- the exhibition 'Studio Studies' of the
paintings by the artist.
David creates works driven by the moment, by
direct observation and a passion for his
subject. Within a career spanning 35 years
he has produced both wildlife and figurative
studies on a commercial basis including a
life-size bronze Welsh Cob commissioned for
the town of Aberaeron, Wales.
His own editions in bronze are choices based
upon what he is interested in at that time
or reflections of recent observation and
encounters.
"I am often torn between working
outdoors with a sketchbook and being in the
studio. The studio is where the work is
completed … outside is where my work starts. I
enjoy all aspects of being outside, come rain or
shine and is where I am most comfortable.
My time outdoors is split between
simply walking and finding my subjects or my
other passion, running in the mountains and
trails where there is always opportunity for
that chance sighting that may be the spark for
something new.
When developing a new piece it usually
starts from my sketchbooks, then the creation of
pinch maquette's that stand a few centimetres
tall. From this point I should have some idea if
a larger piece will work or not. Occasionally I
dive right in and with full conviction and
sculpt the new piece … the immediate response,
the fresh unrehearsed approach, offering
something extra to the work.
I offer no meaning for my works … they
are what they are, responses to observations of
animals sculpted in a long held style that comes
most naturally to me." - David Mayer

 Mel Smothers
- the exhibition 'Big Oil, Lost And Found' of the artist's latest
sculptures.
'I’m placing objects
from climate change, and humanitarian events on
top of a mass consumerism box. I have been
bringing wood and other found objects, charred
from recent fires on the west coast, or salvaged
from a Florida Keys refugee boat, into a
conversation with art history, climate change
denial, corporate environmental greed.
These subjects are
inherited with the times and drawn from personal
narratives and sources that span art history.
They reflect my interest in philosophy and
contemporary thought.' - Mel Smothers |

 Helen Warner
- the exhibition
'From Pain To Freedom' - the first exhibition at
our gallery of the artist's artworks.
Helen Warner was born in Southampton, UK. She studied
Art, Sport Studies and Human Biology
at college and being a passionate runner, subsequently completed a
degree in Sports Studies at DeMontfort University in Bedford, which
encompassed elements of Human Psychology and Sociology.
Helen started to re-embrace her innate creativity and attended an
art class in Southampton to allow her to re-discover her creative
path. Since then, her career as an artist has been an intense and
emotional journey.
"There is so much I could say about my artwork
but I choose not to because my paintings and sculptures should
speak for themselves. I like the viewer to see what they see and
therefore this enables my artwork to have an unlimited potential
to open minds. I love to shut my studio door behind me and shut
out the outside world. The silence is wonderful to me.
Many subjects and emotions inspire and compel me
to paint and create it's a continuous journey of exploration.
It's all about and in the creativity". -
