Printmakers x2 – 1st to 7th June
Julie Orpen
Julie produces Lino prints and Engravings that are usually inspired by the natural world around her, and she attempts to convey the movement in nature when she designs her work, as well as a sense of depth. Julie has recently been making prints of various birds and animals using their collective noun as a theme.
Anne Townshend artist : printmaker
Constantly inspired by her surroundings, Anne can often be seen cycling and sketching around her local Suffolk lanes, or settled with a sketch book in a sheltered corner somewhere along the beautiful east coast. Always having been involved with art, the acquisition of an albion printing press some years ago initiated a change of direction for the expression of Anne’s creativity, through carving and printing lino block.

Tony Rothon and Sarah Nutley – 8th to 14th June
Amongst an array of current figurative painters many claims to authenticity are from those whose use of the ipad stills their world and provides their key of colour. The painters Sarah Nutley and Tony Rothon are quite different from this: they both work directly from observation without photographic assistance, whether standing before their subject matter, or pondering the nature of appearance back in the studio. As such their work retains a freshness, a sense of genuine enquiry and an honesty which is rarely found in ‘art’ produced today. Visit their new show at The Aldeburgh Gallery and see for yourself!
