Vibrant Colours and Bluebells For May

Karen Birchwood

How we relish receiving new pieces from another of our much loved regular exhibiting artists, Karen Birchwood, and this May we are delighted to be exhibiting 3 new pieces by Karen, all which we think are outstanding.

Karen is not only a (selected) member of the Rye Society of Artists but has also been recognised as a talented abstract artist by The Society of Women Artists, with her works being sort after both nationally and internationally. Karen works from her studio in Sevenoaks, Kent. Her works are abstract, expressionist landscapes and seascapes often incorporating the rye grasses and flatter Kentish landscapes found along the coast, where she spends much of her time. 

In each of these new pieces Karen has incorporated mixed media together with her creative subtle hue changes to suggest peaceful reflection along a coastal wilderness.

Since initially exhibiting at Artologie for our opening in May 2017, Karen’s work has been very popular, so to avoid missing out on seeing them in person, we hope you are able to visit the gallery soon. 

Jessica Ford

Something that we always look forward to with great excitement at Artologie… new works by the extremely popular and gifted Jessica Ford, and this May we are delighted to announce we have two 1m x 1m signature size canvases by Jessica to shout-out about.

Jessica is a Brighton based abstract artist who has regularly exhibited at Artologie since we opened our doors in May 2017. She is very well known for her use of vibrant colours (love of pink) and her paintings grace the interiors of clients homes worldwide. 

Jessica’s use of colour and shading techniques never fails to ignite great conversation from gallery visitors and 'Birch', currently hanging in our window, is proving to be no exception. Her second painting  'Ren' on display inside the gallery has her signature style block divisions in pink and turquoise.  Come in soon to see for yourself, the colours are truly uplifting and like all Jessica’s work, they will not be available for long.

Grant Dejonge

It’s Bluebell season (aren’t they magnificent this year!) and what a treat for us at Artologie to have a delivery by our very dear artist, Grant Delonge.

Grant, who is very much a seasonal landscape painter, was so captured by the beauty of this year’s bluebell display that he was inspired to paint  ‘Bluebells in a birch wood’ (36cm W x 55cm H) currently on display in our window. This piece captures the yellow light and spring leaves dancing on the surface of the canvas reflecting the glory of bluebells below.

We are also delighted to have another two stunning sunrise paintings of Grant’s inspired by the spectacular views from Novington Lane in East Chiltington. Both pieces capture a moment of brilliance; the golden red colours of early morning, hinting at the possibilities of the day ahead.
