A Sense of Place by Ian Davenport
Saturday 22nd July to Saturday 16th September
A Sense of Place is the first major solo art exhibition by Tickhill-based artist Ian Davenport. It represents work completed over the last 18 months whilst studying for a Degree in Fine Art. As a contemporary landscape artist, inspired by the open spaces and big skies of Northern England, this body of work describes an emotional connection to place through a bold use of colour, texture and gestural marks.
Ian said: “Art has taught me how to see the world in sharper focus, to be mindful of the passing seasons, how colour and light changes with the fleeting weather, and how this can bring beauty to an otherwise ordinary view.”
