Harry Ousey

Harry Ousey (1915-1985) was an artist who immersed himself in his favourite subject, the landscape. He believed that only in the abstract could the various effects of landscape be fully expressed and his work shows a real passion for everything to do with the natural world.

Robert Bryce Muir – Unto the Self

Of a Feather – Colin See-Paynton

A complete and wonderfully poetic alphabet of collective nouns. Each one of the wood engravings in this exhibition has been made in the space of roughly four years and takes us through the alphabet from ‘Abandonment of Cuckoos’ through ‘Gaggle of Geese’, ‘Tiding of Magpies’ to ‘Zephyr of Longtailed Titmice’.

Mark J. Nicholls

‘The over-riding drive in my art is an examination and exploration of the journey of life, the bit of our being between the start and the end, and the position we all find ourselves in of trying to understand these points of beginning and nothing.

Art On the Edge Exploring the Modern Medal

Be surprised by this first-ever exhibition in Cornwall of selected art medals of the 21st century by professionals and fine art students from all over the U.K., including University College Falmouth, and from the University of Nagoya, Japan. Art medals are not for bravery, not for achievement, but are a means for artists to experiment, to create beautiful objects that might tell a story, might express an emotion, and will certainly capture your imagination.

Cornwall’s long history of metals and foundry work makes this exhibition particularly relevant to the county. The British Art Medal Society has also invited photography students from UCF to interpret aspects of bronze casting to accompany the exhibition.
