FEATURED POTTER - MATTHEW CHAMBERS - JULY 2011

The ceramic works of Matthew Chambers are born from a love of geometric and constructivist art, architecture, and design. 

Matthew is one of those ceramicists who invariable provoke the response - How does he do that? Each of his remarkable pieces is a testament to his extraordinary skill in both the design and the making.

JOY BOSWORTH - Artist in Residence June 2011

We enjoyed getting to know Joy better during her time in the Stable Workshop  and look forward to her return when she comes to fire her leather- hard pots produced while she was here

Joy says:-

"I have enjoyed my time as Artist in Residence at the Bevere Gallery immensely.  I was able to enjoy the pleasant sounds of people chatting over coffee and lunch whilst
working in the Stable on my pots, and to engage in conversation with those who were interested in
my activities.
The Bevere Gallery has a welcoming atmosphere and the work displayed is the best
of the best in the ceramics
world, displayed alongside paintings and prints.  It is well worth a visit."

Chris Howells - Artist in Residence June 2011

 

 Chris  and his paintings have had associations with us at Bevere for many years and it was good for our visitors to have the chance to meet him personally 

 He was in residence for a week in  our Stable Workshop showing and  creating new  countryside paintings surrounding his Worcestershire home.

In 1976 he began his highly successful career in art concentrating on rural landscapes which capture the extraordinary beauty and interest found in the area.  Chris is a Malvern based artist specialising in local scenes and still life studies with a modern slant. 

'Oil Painting'

During the last three years since his move to Malvern he has been developing new ideas for still-life paintings. Although based on traditional techniques the inspiration came with a desire to evolve and push the boundaries of still-life painting. The paintings progress from one work to another as if on a journey without a known destination or end. He hopes the paintings are not only thought provoking, but fun.  It is difficult to live in Malvern and not be inspired by the hills, a subject that Chris finds both exciting and challenging.
