THE fascinating world of ‘The Remarkable Everyday’ is explored in a new, contemporary art exhibition at The Old Brick Workshop Gallery in Higher Poole, Wellington.

The exhibition. featuring work by nine artists living and working in Somerset, has been inspired and curated by artist and bookseller Natalie Parsley.

Her enthusiasm and love of seemingly banal everyday subjects led her to gather together a group of like-minded fellow artists to share her passion with their own views of both the commonplace and the curious in drawing, painting, print-making and 3D work.

The show has work by Jenny Barron, Andrew Davey, Faye Dennis, Gordon Faulds, Gordon Field, Liz Gregory, Natalie Parsley, Michael Tarr and Scarlet von Teazel. Working with subjects such as tools, ladders, discarded boxes, old utensils and modern technology has led the participants to create some quirky and mysterious compositions, constructions and installations.

This is the first group show this year at The Old Brick Workshop which houses a new gallery space and a set of self-contained studios, created by owner Alison Cosserat for use by Somerset artists.

The event is sponsored by local business West Country Foods of Wellington and is open 11am-4.30pm until Saturday, July 9, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
