A Body of Work

21st April 2008

Harbour House is the venue for A Body of Work - Rosie Burns' third solo exhibition of paintings, sculpture and printmaking.

The show opens at the Kingsbridge gallery on Tuesday 13 May.

Rosie, who has recently relocated from Salcombe to north Devon, shows some delightful local studies, and a wide range of works inspired by her recent travels in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Costa Rica.

The exhibition will include watercolours, oil paintings, printmaking, wood carving and ceramics.

Rosie describes herself as an obsessive creative, a constant collector and gatherer of visual information which feeds continuously into her art work.

She is rarely without a sketchbook and camera to hand, in which to record images and impressions, and to develop themes and ideas. Her most recent work involves generating imagery inspired by poetry.

Rosie will explain more about her creative process in a gallery talk at 12.30pm on Friday 16 May.

Everybody is welcome to this informal event, there's no need to book, and admission is free.

For Rosie, making art is a continual adventure, and she explains, "although I work in a broad range of media, spirals and helicoidal patterns are a connecting thread in all the work I do.

"Colour, too, is of great importance to me, and even within my more conservative landscapes and seascapes there is still, I hope, an intensity of colour.

"I am enthralled by lurid colour: Roaul Dufy's vivid Mediterranean seas, and the brilliant colour of Matisse's paper cuts, were colours I was captivated by from an early age!"

Opening times for the exhibition are 10am - 5pm daily until the close of the show on Sunday 18 May.
