MAIN GALLERY

Resurgence

by Nicole Minton & Adam Goodman

14th - 25th March

Open View: Thursday 16th March 6-8pm

Meet the Artist: Saturday 25th March 1-3pm

Adam Goodman photographer and Nicole Minton artist have shared a passion for their individual media for many years.

Nicole’s process is the driving force behind each abstract piece, where mixed media are used to build layers, which are then stripped back in part and then added to again. This process is repeated many times before completion. Geometric shapes make frequent appearances; applied in card, fabric and even teabag paper. The finished images may present in muted, neutral colours, or vibrant flamboyant contrasts. Working on canvases on the floor allows for experimental layouts to be adjusted many times before they are fixed, painted and sanded.

Adam is a photographer who mainly focuses on landscape photography, through his fascination with the natural environment. He is captivated by the use of colour, light, tones and detail which has enabled the development of the practice of working in close up. This has included changing the position of the subject to create different depths of field. Adam also likes to experiment at night. Adam’s works have involved photographs taken around Britain and East Anglia.

A Life in Detail

by John Balman and Ilona Hay

14th - 25th March

Meet the Artist: Saturday 25th March 1-3pm

An exhibition by two artists with a rigorous attention to detail, John using oil on panel and Ilona using ink/charcoal on paper.

Ilona’s art expresses a concern for the loss of natural habitat by recording her personal experiences at the city fringe. She draws the forest floor with its decay and regeneration in extraordinary detail, this act of recording being a form of catharsis.

John would ask the question, ‘where do you find me in my art for it’s a deeply personal pursuit?’

For him the act of painting creates a calm space in the studio and his paintings reflect a balance that hopefully resonates with viewers.

Both artists create detailed works that slowly reveal themselves with repeat viewings.

Organised Chaos by Dave Cassell

MAIN GALLERY
28th March - 8th April

Open View: 30th March 6-8pm
Meet the Artist: 8th April 2-4pm

As a Mathematician, Dave has long been interested in the Chaos Theory developed in the 1980s, where forms that exist in nature from microscopic to cosmic can be described using simple rules. His visual vocabulary is drawn from these images and his aim is to reassemble these to create new meaning and show a deeper understanding of existence.

Body of Christ – drawings by Lynda Waterson

FRONT ROOM
28th March - 8th April

Open View: 30th March 6-8pm
Meet the Artist: 8th April 2-4pm

Lynda Waterson is a Christian artist, and she lives and works in Norwich. Lynda is neural diverse and lives with dissociative identity disorder which means she experiences her personality in layers. She works prayerfully, asking the Holy Spirit to guide her hand and eye. These drawings are based on her life studies, she abstracts lines and shapes from life drawings. We are all made in the image of God and Lynda believes we all carry a spark of the divine. She also makes drawings as part of an extempore session of song and prayer at Crossroads church, Earlham.

Sue Maufe and Caroline Denyer exhibition 30 x 30 black white and another.

30x30: Black, White and Another by Sue Maufe & Caroline Denyer

MAIN GALLERY & FRONT ROOM
11th - 22nd April

The 30x30cm idea originated as an open exhibition in Bergen at the Gallery Vox in 2009.
The show, which is annual, continues today as an open invitation to anyone who is interested in submitting work.

Sue and Caroline took this idea and invited friends, colleagues and artists they know, to submit 3 pieces measuring 30x30cm for an exhibition which they curated at West Acre Gallery in 2020, featuring 60 artists. In the following year the exhibition at Diss Corn Hall Gallery included 30 artists, for ‘30x30x30’.

‘30x30: black, white and another’
is a further development of the concept of making an exhibition unified by dimensions but including artists working in all sorts of media, including 3D work and textiles.
Limiting the images to using only black and white with one other colour – where the colour might dominate and include different tints, shades and even hues- creates a challenging brief and hopefully leads to some surprising interpretations!

Sue and Caroline have invited friends, neighbours and artists who have been in residence in ‘Top Shed’, Norfolk but who come from as far afield as Bristol to Scotland and Bergen. The show also includes people who simply asked if they could’ have a go’, the ideas behind the exhibition aim to be as inclusive as possible.

Sue works in ceramics, as well as other media. Her work is inspired by archaeology, architectural structures and the humanity of small objects which people have made for Millenia.

Caroline is primarily a painter, working directly from life. Her work can be formally structured or gestural and loose. Nature, landscape and a sense of place are at the root of her work.

Spring Show by Royal Academy Schools East Anglia Group

MAIN GALLERY & FRONT ROOM
25th April - 6th May

The Royal Academy Schools East Anglia Group (RASEAG) was formed in 2011 as part of an initiative to forge connections between graduates of different generations and create opportunities to network and exhibit together. All the former students live and work in East Anglia, from the coastal areas to Cambridge, and have exhibited across the region. They continue to welcome new members.

Our last show at Anteros, in 2021, focused on printmaking of which several members are specialists.

In the Spring Show painting comes to the fore along with other media. Again there will be a very diverse range of approaches reflecting both contemporary and more traditional perspectives.

Taking Root by Lynda Baxter

FRONT ROOM
9th - 20th May

In July 1785 William Jackson Hooker was born at 71-77, Magdalen Street, Norwich, just along from Anteros. In 1840, as a prominent botanist, he became the first Director of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew. He sits amongst a pantheon of local botanists marked in one of our city’s Heavenly Gardens.

Taking Root is an exhibition recognising the place of horticulture and botany in our Fine City, Norwich. As a gardener at Oasis community garden, adjacent to Anteros, Lynda contributes (in a small way) to the ongoing greening and beautifying of the city.

This exhibition links to specific Medieval churches in Norwich local to Anteros Arts Foundation, with a self-guided walk starting and ending at the building shared with The Merchants House cafe.

A Norwich based artist, Lynda has studied at Anteros Arts Foundation, on the year long multi-disciplinary Diploma, and subsequently under Martin Kinnear at the well established Norfolk Painting School in 2018, underpinning and accelerating her practice into an exhibiting figurative artist.

Key influences on Lynda’s work are: Keith Vaughan, Euen Uglow, Joan Eardley, Paul Cezanne, Henry Moore and Egon Schiele.

You and I are Earth by Claire Cansick

MAIN GALLERY
23rd - 25th May

Claire Cansick embarked last year on a project to record in paint a year of news reports about climate change, weather events and environmental issues. This has resulted in 46 beautifully crafted small paintings covering subjects such as wildfires, floods and hurricanes, all painted using the same four colours. Images were collected from tv news reports, global publications and individual's social media accounts of climate affected weather.
Each painting has the location, date and source as its title.
