This month I am showing new work with The Art Shop, Monmouthshire.

The Long Winter Show 2013,

22nd November - 25th January
An eclectic collection of art and toys by painters, printmakers, jewellers, ceramic makers and sculptors.

Upstairs there is a series of rooms in a domestic interior where works are found in unexpected contexts to emphasise their beauty and uniqueness…

In a room (of cobalt green and viridian), lit up by glorious, painterly paintings by Royal Academy Schools and Royal College trained artists, is a small library of covetable art and design books.
If you would like to be kept up to date about forthcoming news and exhibitions please send us your name & postal address and we will add you to our mailing list.

‘CRAFTSMANSHIP FROM THE BRITISH ISLES’

The New Craftsmen was founded in 2012 by Mark Henderson, Catherine Lock and Natalie Melton. Since 2010 we have toured the British Isles meeting and documenting the makers of traditional craft, and the innovators using skills, honed over centuries, in a contemporary way.
The result is The New Craftsmen: a network of makers who collaborate with us to showcase the finest materials, skills and craft products of the British Isles. We seek out makers and iconic objects that are deeply connected to culture and place, we forge collaborations with designers and makers to offer a contemporary take on specific skills and materials, and we offer our customers a range of services that enable them to customize and develop bespoke pieces.
The New Craftsmen represents a vision of sustainable, luxury, expressed through dedication to makers, materials, method and design.

CORNELIA O’DONOVAN

Cornelia O'Donovan (b. London, UK, 1981) trained at Royal College of Art. Her work is held in private collections in the U.K. and overseas. The artist lives and works in London.

FLORAL DISPLAY EXHIBITION

Capturing the fleeting moment when flower petals are about to fade and leaves are ready to drop, Cornelia O’Donovan creates a subtle and compelling sense of melancholy through her painted floral displays. Cornelia O’Donovan's work is often reminiscent of grand but faded medieval frescoes and of crumbling murals, hidden within the walls of ancient country churches. This aesthetic is developed further for her new exhibition with the use of thick, deckled edge paper which is prepared by lightly sanding the surface and finished with a fine layer of varnish - a technique which is still used today to stabilise delicate wall murals.

****************
A Childish Prank"


Man's and woman's bodies lay without souls
Dully gaping, foolishly staring, inert
On the flowers of Eden.
God pondered.

The problem was so great, it dragged him asleep.

Crow laughed.

He bit the Worm, God's only son,
Into two writhing halves.

He stuffed into man the tail half
With the wounded end hanging out.

He stuffed the head half headfirst into woman
And it crept in deeper and up
To peer out through her eyes
Calling it's tail-half to join up quickly, quickly
Because O it was painful.

Man awoke being dragged across the grass.
Woman awoke to see him coming.
Neither knew what had happened.

God went on sleeping.

Crow went on laughing.”
