Art for Living

The seven artists selected by Fred Mann, director of New Arts Projects and Philip Hooper, are Fergus Hare, showing some of his landscapes of the south coast of England. Beautiful small paintings evoking twilight and pay homage to Samuel Palmer and the English landscape tradition. Canadian artist Zachari Logan will show his delicate drawings of floral wreaths together with a monumental pastel work of an urn filled with wild flowers native to Canada. Mat Humphrey will install some new elegant monochrome panels which reference the movement of light and sound through water. Kadie Salmon, a young Scottish artist who creates delicate hand-coloured photographs, will be showing pieces from her residency in Trondheim, and from her studio award at The Florence Trust. James Crowther, a British painter specialising in touching portraits of his subjects, has had work exhibited in a number of major UK collections including the National Portrait Gallery. Jack Milroy is represented by his signature acrylic boxes containing three-dimensional cut-out work. Hedley Roberts will exhibit one of his compelling and vibrant portraits that reference the way we portray ourselves on social media sites such as instagram.

“We decided to show these contemporary artists in a stylish and residential setting as we all live with visual art. The rooms at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler provide the ideal setting in which to enjoy it” says Fred Mann.
