Rebecca Abrey’s work has a directness and simplicity that belies her artistry. Using mixed media she scrapes away layers to reveal the hidden colours beneath. Her landscapes and seascapes evoke peace in a busy world. In Through the Window she draws the lace curtains to reveal trees and beds of flowers in a French Provincial garden.

Up till now Jill Colchester has concentrated on her figurative nudes and animals with their clean lines like Ajax and Paris. Latterly she has moved into an abstract phase. Working with a goose feather quill and ink she makes strong abstract landscapes entitled After You’ve Gone and Apart From You in graphite and charcoal, each mounted on pillar-box red and framed in the same startling shade.

Eleanor Clutton-Brock has her own ironic slant on life. Her witty blue and yellow watercolours of cats, the burly headed lion, the tiger and the tense pair circling one another anxiously, bring to mind the charm of T .S. Eliot’s old Macavity. Victoria Borondo’s handmade bags and purses display the charm and glamour of a bygone era. She uses Victorian lace, reclaimed fine fabrics, old necklaces, buttons and scarves. Her pink drawstring purse is decorated with net and seed pearls and her neat, elegant zip and button purses are beautifully made and easy to carry. In shades of lilac, eau-de-Nil and blush pink her work is inspired by the romance of Gustav Klimpt and Alphonse Mucha and would enhance any occasion. The window of the Chadlington Quality Foods displays the work of each artist, including a touching watercolour by Jack Radbone.

This Artweeks show runs from May 2-10, noon to 6pm.
