Splash

2 June - 14 July

Water has never ceased to inspire artists, who have interpreted its qualities to sooth, calm and enliven for centuries. As we emerge from a period of isolation and lockdown, the call of water has never been so inviting.
While Hockney was inspired by the pools of California in his famous painting ‘A Bigger Splash’, our artists have mused on Hockney’s legacy to reflect on pools, lidos and oceans.

Each artist sees the water in a different light, in location and proximity. Artists Mew, Emily Kirby and Ruth Mulvie live by the coast, whereas new artist Bench Allen grew up in the seaside town of Plymouth and now lives in London.
Richard Heeps has documented his trips around the world using his highly saturated hues. Vivid colours perfectly reflect the locations of his iconic ‘Swim-in-pool’ shot in Las Vegas, Nevada and ‘Ices’ shot in Bexhill-on-Sea.

We welcome two new artists to the gallery; London based screenprinter Bench Allen and Glasgow based painter Fiona Wilson. Wilson has been painting a series of ‘swimming cap ladies’ since she met us outside the gallery in Summer 2000, before we opened our doors to the public.
