Exeter based artists group Seventeen08, will be taking art to a wider audience in Exeter this July. See the website at www.seventeen08.com for more details.

We will be connecting with the people of Exeter and showing that art can be accessible, that it can break the boundaries of the gallery and the  exhibition space and become part of the fabric of the city.

Join them on the opening night 21 July 09  7:30pm at Exeter Phoenix arts and media.

Born in Totnes, some years ago (a lady never talks about her age), I spent a couple of years at college doing a foundation course in fine art and printmaking, before being sent off to “do something more useful”. I took up watercolour painting about 8 years ago; prior to this I had spend a number of years working with stained glass. Whilst glass is a wonderful material to work with, painting allows me the freedom to capture a scene in a way that glass cannot.

I paint what takes my fancy, but find myself drawn towards moor land and open landscapes, especially Dartmoor and the Cornish coast.

After many years selling art materials and advising on techniques, Jacky Hazeldine decided to develop her painting.  Her life long love of flowers and the natural world has inspired a series of paintings that she has turned into cards and prints.  She has paintings in collections in Australia and the UK.

 

After completing a foundation course in Exeter in the early 80’s, Beth went on to gain a degree in fine art painting and printmaking in Sheffield.

My work is a celebration of the beauty, spontaneity and intimacy within a fleeting moment. I am strongly influenced by travel, human form, human nature, living outside and connecting with a more “raw” existence. The key to my work is knowing precisely when to leave a piece before it could become overworked, retaining freshness and vitality.

Beth is now living in Sidmouth and working full time as an artist.

Stephen Quick was born in Honiton and trained in Bristol under such artists as Wayne Lloyd, Eamon O’Kean and Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller. Since leaving university he has set up the art and film studio “Splintered Studios” based in Devon.

He is an internationally collected artist with collectors all around Europe and America and as far a field as Australia and Japan.

Recent projects have included the “Banana Manifesto”, used as the artwork for the stage production of  Mojo Mickeybo  at the Trafalgar Theatre on Londons West End and fitting out the whole of the new Riviera cinema in Teignmouth. His film “In the Key of Water” was used to highlight water shortage at The National Association of Landscape Architects in Bergan, Norway.

“My Manifesto” is basically an art gag; a post modern take on postmodern ideals. I take overused cultural images and give these images a new lease of life. The images chosen are ones that are so overused that we no longer look at them, we know what they are, very much in the same way we do not need to read a Coke can or a McDonalds sign to know what it is. By adding banana’s, hearts, ipods or butterflies, these images take on new meanings, re-evaluating the images of our “Time” and making the viewer re-evaluate the subjects in question. In some cases these work as a social commentary (guns replaced by bananas) or make a comment on the person or character in the painting. All reveal new contextual meanings and hope to bring a giggle or a smile to the viewer.

I was brought up close to the countryside and developed a love of the outdoors and animals from an early age.

My passion for horses grew when at the age of 14 I was lucky to own my first pony. Together we competed at County Level showing excelling in the M&M Working Hunter Pony classes. This passion has continued to grow together with a love of art.

 

Combining her knowledge of animals and training in illustration, Hannah aims to capture a real likeness and the true character of the sitter, through fine detail and expression.

Having enjoyed time on the Exe Estuary for many years, I have worked with glass, driftwood, seaweed and ice on this site, exploring how colour changes meaning. Concentrating on the landscape surrounding the Estuary, I am currently developing a series of images to see how colours transmit to the viewer, and whether the viewer goes on to experience these colours in a creative fractured way to make their own visual sense of these spaces.

Annette runs a weekly art group, for homeless people combining her training as a youth councellor and experience as an artist.

Through this I am hoping to help make the experience of creating ‘art’ more accessible to people who are excluded from, or who may not normally consider, taking up and enjoying the challenge.

Latest Work

Annete’s work can be viewed at the Harbour View Cafe on Exmouth seafront.

 

Studio Spaces will be available when the new centre is completed.
