This month we have lots of returning artists exhibiting at Colonnade House. Brian Tew will be exhibiting his latest large scale ceramics and digital art pieces. John Evans & Janet Branscombe are back with their latest range of ceramics, paintings and sculptures. We also welcome back Walter Wall, with his second exhibition at Colonnade House this year!
We end 2019 with our annual Festive Pop-Up Shop, which celebrates Worthing’s creative community. It’s a great chance to pick up some handmade gifts and to meet the tenant’s who work in Colonnade House studios.
Festive Pop-up Shop
10 – 24 December // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
Our popular pop-up returns with original art work and gifts by some of the talented people who work here and invited guests – including John Bond, Sarah Edmonds, Alison Tyldesley, Ellie Bond, Pip Carter, Peon Boyle, Shona Macdonald, Nicky Bell and Worthing’s own Men in Sheds.
Find your perfect gift and support the growing number of independents in Worthing!
Join us for late night opening Thursday 19 December until 8pm.
Oil and Fire – In Flux
Until 8 December // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
Sensual is the word for the flowing forms of Janet Branscombe’s paintings and the tactile surfaces of John Evans’s ceramics, and unusually for an art exhibition you are encouraged to touch the artwork! Come and talk to the artists to discover the fascinating processes that lie beneath the surface.
Brian Tew
Until 8 December // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
Brian lets the materials guide him when he makes his ceramic sculptures, he sees potential when things don’t turn out as intended, and he enjoys re-visiting past work to update it with digital technology. This life-long commitment to curiosity makes for an exhibition rich in ideas and originality.
Walter Wall: Constant Inconsistencies
10 – 24 December // 10.00 – 17.00 // Free entry
To create this latest group of paintings, Walter has set himself some rules – and then followed them inconsistently. The results are colourful, eye-catching, exuberant – and very unruly.
