The second exhibition by 'The Freedom in Painting Group', an accomplished group of artists from all over the UK and beyond, linked by participation on our courses in Cornwall.
PRESS RELEASE: 'Since 2011, renowned landscape painter and colourist Ashley Hanson, a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists, has hosted a series of courses in Cornwall, under the banner ‘Freedom in Painting’, attracting artists from all over the country and internationally wishing to push their practice forwards. In their response to the beautiful coastal landscape and harbour-towns of Cornwall - Porthleven, Port Isaac, Polperro, Polruan - each artist has found their own personal freedom in painting. The Group was formed for all participating artists to share work and exhibition news and to continue friendships. This impressive, contemporary, and eclectic collection of work brings the light and colour of Cornwall to Henley-on-Thames. Each of the twenty artists will be showing three paintings, including artist/tutor Ashley Hanson, who, as part of his teaching, produces a painting on each course. Admission is free to the gallery in Upper Market Place.
On Saturday 16 October, 1- 5pm, there is an opportunity to meet the artists and share a glass of wine. We would love you to join in our celebrations!
