INLAND | EXHIBITION
OF NEW PAINTINGS BY CARRY AKROYD
10th -24th
October 2020
Inland is a solo
exhibition by landscape painter Carry Akroyd taking place at The Jerram
Gallery, Half Moon Street, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3LN from Saturday 10th
to Saturday 24th October 2020. There will be 40 paintings in the show in different
media : oils, watercolour, acrylic, mixed media as well as a small amount of
her original prints. Prices range from £350
to £2,500.
Carry’s
interest in the landscape draws on many levels of fascination, producing a soft
yet vibrant colour palette depicting landscape and nature. Her work is very
recognizable, having been used to illustrate many book jackets as well as her
monthly illustration for the Bird of the Month column in The Oldie. She also has striking books of her own work.
This exhibition
has taken Carry from her home in rural east Northamptonshire to Dorset, Herefordshire
and the Cotswolds. Her focus in these different
parts of England is how field patterns
change dramatically according to the geology, and a half hour drive will
produce contrasting landscapes which are cleverly captured in her work. While out walking Carry accumulates sketches
and visual notes, which later and during lockdown, are distilled in the studio,
to make the final image. Roads and birds
are recurring motifs. Some of the works
have developed from recording a location to being more about colour and
pattern.
The gallery is
open from Tuesday to Saturday, 9.30am-5pm, to enjoy the paintings with plenty
of space whilst maintaining a safe distance.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated colour catalogue
and can be viewed online at www.jerramgallery.com from the beginning of October.
