Private View, Wiverton manor, Blakeney.




'The Last 9 Months' exhibition by artists Tom Lamprell, Francesca Perkins and Louuis Hudson was situated in a lovely old stone barn on the grounds of Wiverton manor in Blakeney. Across the crumbling brickwork the artists works showed a good variation of techniques, mediums and subjects but the way they'd been curated made the show a success as all the pieces worked well next to each other.



Louis Hudson works with salvaged wood and incorporates them into painted canvas' giving them a 3D, growing feeling but the works spoke of ecological questions in the local environment.

Francesca Perkins paints large landscapes on canvas using thick brushstrokes through deeply applied acrylics which reminded me of David Hockney's latest collection of large countryside views.

Tom Lamprell looks at the local people in his portraits but the way he paints gives them a sinister, creepy look which I think adds a bit of an edge and gives the viewer more to question about who and what they're looking at.
