Solo Exhibition at Plymouth Tinside Lido July 2013

Back at the end of June, early July, I managed to present a solo exhibition of my art-work at the Tinside Lido overlooking Plymouth Sound, entitled  'All At Sea', comprising of nearly sixty pieces. The venue seemed the perfect setting to show my paintings and prints which were all focused around images related to the sea, sailing and navigation. Much of the subject matter could be viewed through the windows high above the swimming pool below and the sea beyond.

The interior area had formerly been the ladies changing room but had undergone building and construction work which had never been completed leaving the large space with open, lowered  false ceilings, allowing the eye to survey an engaging, abstract -expressionist riot of peeling, hanging, twisting slivers of paint, barely still clinging to the raw, concrete structure overhead. All this seemed to lend itself  to aspects of how the work had been produced.

Responses from people who viewed the exhibition were very affirmative, fifty individuals commented in the visitors book, all in a positive way.  eg.;- 'Never seen anything like it. Very original. Loved the colours.'  Dorothy Soper, Sydney, Australia.
  Very interesting to see something original and unusual in all aspects-- seen nothing like it anywhere-- ever. They have vibrancy and life!'    Janine & Ryan
    'We all loved your exhibition, so inspiring, beautiful colours, loved the texture and use of type too. Fantastic, thanks for inviting us in.--Good luck,' The Taylor family .
   'Amazing body of work Roy-- We're absolutely gobsmacked !!' John & Jane Baldwin.
  'Great range of work. Technical and art work is first class. The imagination to produce such a collection is fantastic.' John W Francis.
   Which is all very complementary and encouraging so I'll keep on working and won't get rid of my paints just yet.

 Have a look around the exhibition through the photographs below.
 I hope you enjoy it.
