EXHIBITION

CHANTEL RIDLEY and
COLIN DAVIES

Opening on Saturday 15th AUGUST

Chantel Ridley

Chantel Ridley - "I want my artwork to speak of my experience of landscape. Whether it be home or away, the stories of lives lived echo through the environment, leaving behind faint traces of narrative.

Through mark making, textures and arresting compositions, I use mixed media to build more abstracted, organic rhythms and patterns of light and colour. Here I attempt to tell the stories that capture my imagination.

I am a self taught artist who lives and works in Pemrokeshire, predisposing me to a love of coast, sea and sky. Old harbours and peeling boats, cottages and countryside invoke my need to paint."

Colin Davies

Colin Davies - “Amazed and inspired by the beautiful coastline and mountains of my homeland, I enjoy spending most of my time painting it. My work often communicates the drama of the ocean as I strive to paint the noise of wild water cascading, with pounding fury, onto rugged shorelines. Also, it reflects the time spent walking the mountains of Bannau Brycheiniog and Eryri, and a desire to capture the changing light of billowing skies over wind-swept moorland and rocky mountain crags.”

Following a teaching career lasting over thirty years, Professional artist, Colin Davies, traded life as a headteacher to fulfil a lifelong desire to be a full-time painter. Swapping the classroom for canvas back in 2019, he now channels his love of the Welsh landscape into dynamic, energetic paintings, infused with atmosphere and scale. Colin’s paintings are exhibited in galleries throughout the UK and are found in private collections across the country and internationally.
