Flowers Reunited. Still Life Autumn Exhibition
5 October - 30 November (extended date)
Studio Gallery 6
Flowers have been one of the most popular subjects of painters. Through them it is possible to track some of the history of art in the stories they tell.
Mary Stormont who lived and worked in the building that now is the Rye Art Gallery, was both an artist and an art collector. Many of the paintings in the Permanent Collection depict flowers in various stages of life.
Mary Stormont’s flower paintings will provide a central focus for this exhibition but also included are versions of Dutch 'memento mori’ artworks. Other artists' work will be displayed including by Diana Low, Eileen Margaret Easton, Matt Hardman and Kenneth Townsend.
SPECIAL EVENT: Music and Art.
We were delighted to welcome Sue Rothstein, a Royal Academy of Music harpist who gave a recital in the Gallery on October 26th to celebrate this exhibition. See our Gallery News Page (on menu) for details of the event.
