Both artists hav e a strong association with landscape\; Nina with the hills around her sou th Shropshire home and Clare with the moors and coastal edges of her nativ e north Yorkshire. Working intuitively\, layers and textures are gradually built up to create striking abstract pieces which offer a look beyond wha t is normally seen.\n\nNina Archer is an abstract painter\, living and wor king in the borderlands of the Welsh Marches. Her work is very much about her experience of living and working in a diverse landscape combining Wels h and English cultural influences with a distinctive geography of ridgeway s\, forested valleys\, mountains and rivers.\n\n“I spend a lot of time w alking and observing elements of the landscape that have become important to me. When I am back in the studio I develop these observations through a bstracted forms often defined by the dramatic light\, black shapes\, the d arkness and contrast of the forested valleys\, accents of colour and the t extural feel of this unique landscape.”\n\nClare Maria Wood was brought up by the coast in North Yorkshire. She studied Fine Art Painting at Wimbl edon School of Art and Goldsmiths University in the 90s\, and\, more recen tly\, Printmaking at the Curwen Print Centre with Stanley Jones and Chloe Cheese. “The worlds above and below the ocean&\;#39\;s surface have b een my most recent inspiration\, which serve as a metaphor for human inter actions about love\, loss\, and hope. I walk each day with my dog\, in all weathers. To be at the edge of the elements\, where light shifts and danc es\; reliant and yet independent of the darkness\, is exciting. This immer sive ritual of walking through familiar terrain allows me time to reflect whilst acquiring sensory information on the way. “\n\nThe gallery will b e hosting a preview evening on Thursday 7 th March between 6pm and 8pm\, a nd all are welcome.\n\nYou’ll find the LAKE gallery in the heart of West Kirby\, a couple of minutes walk from the\ntrain station.\n\nThe LAKE gal lery\n\n52 Grange Road\, West Kirby\, Wirral\, CH48 4EF\n\n0151 625 6000\n \nwww.thelakegallery.co.uk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2024/03/Beneath-the-Surface-for-Web.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibitions LOCATION:The Lake Gallery\, 52 Grange Road\, West Kirby\, Wirral\, CH48 4EF \, Wirral\, United Kingdom GEO:53.372824;-3.182158 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=52 Grange Road\, West Kirby \, Wirral\, CH48 4EF\, Wirral\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE= The Lake Gallery:geo:53.372824,-3.182158 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231029T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
