UPSTAIRS AT THE ART SHOP, CROSS STREET

A collection of art works inspired by the summer garden. Paintings and drawings alongside new displays of jewellery and ceramics.

TINA BALMER – ‘My painting is both inspired by, and a celebration of, the domestic and ordinary. Everyday objects represent the rituals of daily life, often jugs, vases, cups, tea pots and flowers. There is always a push pull between abstraction and the figurative with a fluid movement between what is there and what the painting is. I use paint in a relaxed way, changing perspective, with light and shadow informing the pattern, underpinned by a sense of design. I grapple with the subject and the paint until the painting emerges and becomes ‘itself.’
