Imogen Bone: Still Waters

The beauty of art is in its ability to connect. This is the ethos that sits at the core of the Summerhouse and our artists vary from the extremely established to the young and up and coming. Our September show will be headlined by the wonderful Imogen Bone with a beautiful expressive body of work entitled 'Still Waters'. The show will be featured alongside some of the best of Cornish art right through September. To celebrate, we will be holding an afternoon tea supported by Tregothnan Tea with locally made patisseries on Saturday 7th September where you will have the chance to meet Imogen in person. Here you will be able to hear about the inspiration behind Imogens latest body of work and how she came to create this unique style that she is so proud to call her own. For more information and to RSVP please call the gallery on 01736 711400 or email info@summerhousegallery.co.uk

Physical Nature

New Artwork From Peter Ceredig Evans

We are delighted to welcome some new pieces to the gallery from Summerhouse artist Peter Ceredig Evans.

Flourishes of physical energy in the form of animated mark making and bursts of colour, like a thought remembered, only to be lost moments later. It is blurred and dreamy, yet not always tranquil; sometimes the energy is chaotic while other aspects of the painting bring peace.

Peter is concerned with the tension around the human experience, which often takes the form of human interaction, saying ‘human interaction is more important than anything else; all we’ve got is relationships’. He often focuses on the power of memory, which is why his paintings carry this ‘dreamlike’ yet completely tangible quality. Like a good poet, his work draws upon specifics, exact personal memories, images, conversations and people that resonate universally. He is especially interested in sense memories, saying that they give such a solid glimpse into one’s own past: ‘they are more than a photograph, they really are real.’
