Corrie Barclay and her painting - purchased by artinliverpool.com
The Hope University Fine Art & Design degree show is taking place at their creative campus until Friday May 28 2010 and we at artinliverpool.com were thrilled to award our purchase prize (this is our 4th). The large paintings by a very talented young artist, Corrie Barclay, caught our attention immediately and we chose this one.
Corrie will be staying in Liverpool after graduating so look out for her and her work in the future. On the open evening she also gave a live dance performance.
As always there is a lot of other excellent work on show including textiles, ceramics and jewellery.

Liverpool artwork of the week 2010-10. ‘Olive Forms’ Ceramic by Peter Lewis in ‘Camouflage of Truth’ at the Cornerstone 26 February – 26 March 2010.
Some really amazing ceramics by Peter Lewis, I would love to know more about them so it is fortunate that the artist is giving a talk about his inspiration and practice at the Cornerstone tomorrow at 16.00 Tuesday 9 March in room cor110 and its Free.
Where conflict, power, belief and political expediency come together is the territory where Peter Lewis positions his personal practice; an art engaged in a dialogue of the current social and political realities around us. It explores duplicity, cultural systems and reflects on the futility of individuals, as well as armies to create new environments and societies.
The work pulls together a variety of strands from news stories, events and personal experiences that act as counterpoints between East and West. Lewis believes that media coverage of events and sound bite reporting reinforces Western preconceptions and facilitates mythical notions of realities on the ground. His art interrogates concepts of duality, or paradoxical situations that often involve contradictory elements. Indeed, this is part of a fundamental art making strategy within his practice, a dichotomy that reveals an alternative narrative.
Cathedral 2 by Peter Dover
Liverpool artwork of the week 2010-5. ‘Cathedral 2′ print by Peter Dover in ‘5′ at Cornerstone 22 January – 19 February 2010
I love this one. Even though it shows only the merest glimpse of the building I’m sure most people in Liverpool will recognise the Anglican Cathedral. The gradually fading blue sky is brilliant.
It’s worth noting that this is not necessarily typical of Dover’s work, his other prints in the show are very different and he works in many other media. He is Fine Art Curriculum Coordinator at Hope University.
‘5′ at Cornerstone
These Ensemble 10/10 events at The Cornerstone are always well worth investigating…

Ghosts at the Wedding, Mukharadeeb, Iraq, 2004. Engraving by Emily Johns
‘5′ at the Cornerstone
22 January – 19 February 2010
Artists: Pete Clarke, Tim Dolphin, Peter Dover, Emma Gregory, Emily Johns
You can always rely on the Merseyside printmakers to put on a really good show. Emily Johns engravings are quite dark and serious, Pete Clarke’s abstracts are reminiscent of his larger paintings, Peter Dover and Tim Dolphin’s works are more colourful but also mostly abstract and Emma Gregory shows a range of work some of which include a strange looking character and a small dog, I’d like to know their story but I guess I never will.
All works are for sale at very reasonable prices. Take a look.
Wish You Were Here by Emma Gregory
