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.
