The Summer Exhibition
A vibrant exhibition featuring a collection of lovely paintings inspired by the summer and the beautiful southwest coast.
The Summer Exhibition is showcasing a stunning collection of works by both established and new artists, capturing the vibrant essence of the summer and coastal regions that define Devon and Cornwall.
From serene seascapes by Andrew Miller to abstract impressions of local seaside towns by Michael Hill, the exhibition explores the many moods of our coastline. Ben Lucas offers a powerful new body of work that evokes the raw beauty of North Devon’s wild skies and rugged shores.
Jo Vollers brings summer to life through expressive brushwork and joyful bursts of colour in her floral and coastal pieces, while newcomer Kate Barker shares some of her atmospheric, mixed-media depictions of the untamed sea.
Another new artist, Lenny Cornforth, gives us a fresh perspective of some of her favourite Devon beaches with her fabulous oil paintings that are viewed from above, while Tracy Hamer adds a touch of vintage charm with her bold, retro-inspired paintings of women in swimsuits and sunglasses — full of sun-soaked nostalgia.
The Summer Exhibition displays a rich diversity of artistic responses to our beloved coastline, each piece echoing the light, colour and energy of summer by the sea and has been kindly sponsored by Luscombe Maye, who have been partnering people and property in the West Country for over 150 years. It is also being generously supported by Devon Cove, a local artisan drinks company.
