It brings together portraits where the relationship between the sitter and the artist has been forged, and invented portraits, where the imagination of the artist has given new agency and form to previous incarnations. #jotaylorceramics #craigieaitchison #eileencooper #natashamichaels #contemporaryportrait #contemporaryceramics #rableygallery #visitwiltshire #artoutsidelondon

Our doors open TODAY! the sun is shining - time to plan a visit? EXHIBITION An Intimate Distance – Craigie Aitchison RA, Eileen Cooper RA, Natasha Michaels and Jo Taylor 15 April – 29 May 2021 Please book before visiting the gallery - east gallery ‘An Intimate Distance’ is a side view of contemporary portraiture. It brings together portraits where the relationship between the sitter and the artist has been forged, and invented portraits, where the imagination of the artist has given new agency and form to previous incarnations. Craigie Aitchison (1926–2009) is well known for his colourful, stylised paintings. This ‘Portrait of Naaotwa with Green Earring’, 2006 shares its rose bengal background with the light of the room and curiously, though intense, enhances the subtle skin tones of Naaotwa, one of his favourite models. Eileen Cooper has recently returned to drawing and painting from life. In this collection are two very different male subjects, Ziggy and Archie, both Royal Academy alumni. There is a tenderness in the handling of materials in both. Natasha Michaels originally trained as an illustrator at the Royal College of Art. The origins of her recent monoprints lie in historical portraits from the renaissance to the 19th century. Exploring challenging, and at times, up-ending traditional conventions and genres. Jo Taylor, through her medium of Ceramics, crosses the boundary from likeness abstract form creating new vessels in porcelain that appropriate Sevre porcelain from the 18th Century.  Each is a contemporary reinterpretation of this elegant high-shouldered, voluptuous shape. The surface is embellished with hand formed flourishes in matt coloured porcelain and fluid brushes of slip, that are strike impolite conversations with the material, challenging them into new articulations #CraigieAitchison #EileenCooper #natashamichaels #jotaylorceramics #rableygallery #weareopenforbusiness

Our doors open on Thursday for Rising River, Waning Moon- Nana Shiomi and Emily Myers 15 April – 29 May 2021 Please book before visiting the gallery 🔼BOOK-NOW! link in bio. In 2017 Emily Myers made a series of vessels in response to the converging sgraffito lines in Japanese artist Nana Shiomi’s woodcuts. This artists exchange forged a rich vein of exploration, and in 2020 Myers received two beautiful woodcut prints in the post from Shiomi depicting her signature pots. The scene was set for ‘Rising River, Waning Moon’, an exciting exhibition of new works by both artists. Nana Shiomi brings together new woodcuts made since 2017 including ‘Rising Moon from Emily’ and ‘Waning Moon from Emily’, Nana Shiomi trained at the Royal College of Art. Her cycle of 100 prints ‘One Hundred Views of Mitate’, was completed in 2016 and is held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Join us! We are now taking bookings for this course. DM me for more information - ・・・ Intermediate Level (some intaglio printmaking experience necessary)   Tutor: Sarah Gillespie Places: 9 £450.00   To register your interest email rableyprintroom@gmail.com More info 🔼link in bio - EDUCATION SECTION The mezzotint process is a 17th Century intaglio method of printmaking achieving an exquisite soft tonal range by abrading the surface of a copper plate with a toothed rocker and burnishing areas of light by smoothing the surface where the ink will not be held. Transformed by the hand inking of the plate with sticky ink and the transference by the etching press onto the paper. Rabley Gallery is at the heart of farmland, brimmed by woods, fields, river and downland in and area of outstanding natural beauty (ANOB) on the Marlborough Downs. It is habitiat to over 300 species of moths– a ‘tip of the iceberg’ list that has spurred my interest, leading to us inviting Sarah Gillespie to present these stunning Wessex moth prints whose names read like incidental poetry ‘Lime-speck Pug, White Plume, Light Emerald, Black Arches, Small Phoenix, Yellow-tail, Common Quaker’ #rableydrawingcentre #artcourse #mezzotint #printmaking #rableygallery #sarahgillespie ##rableyprintroom
