VAL ARCHER 2011

Touching the surface of time

Wednesday 11 – Saturday 28 May 2011

Over 90 works celebrate 15 happy years with the gallery

There is much in this exhibition that will strike admirers of Val Archer’s paintings as new and different. She has painted mosaics and textured wall surfaces with their remnants of frescoes, developing an interest in their three-dimensional quality, and the infinite range of colours in the stone, marble and ceramic tesserae. However, there is much also that is consistent and familiar, and as always her work communicates the beauties and pleasures of life.

Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated 70 page catalogue with accompanying essays, giving you a true flavour of the show and the artist's work. This beautiful catalogue is available from the gallery at just £10 + p&p (£2 UK, £3 Europe, £5 World).
