Exquisite Trove 23rd July - 2nd October 2010

Exquisite Trove is a collaboration between The House of Fairy Tales and Newlyn Art Gallery, with artist Hadrian Pigott.  Inspired by cabinets of curiosities or Wunderkammer, this exhibition is an exploration of the human desire to collect, display and tell stories with objects and images.  They reflect our personal histories and a fascination with the imagined lives of others. 

Ten Taking Space artists are showing small gems from their ouevres at The Tolcarne Inn during August.

Mary Fletcher’s small vibrant expressive dancer features on the poster, and came from a drawing done during a ballet performance at the Hall for Cornwall.

Joan Ford has a sensitive deft touch in her corners of Kimberley Park in subtle greens.

Karen Smith produces landscapes with a lively attack and Helen Atkins continues her fascination with sea using striking blues.

Sonia Sjoholm, Sara Pound, Jean Ross, Kate Penn, Beverley Morgante le Levier,  and Diana Verboom complete this varied show of affordable work in Taking Space’s 61st show.

Helen Feiler lives and works in Newlyn, Penzance, Cornwall, England where she has a gallery, as well as painting she makes jewellery and sells it from her gallery. During the summer months Helen is based in Cornwall and paints the beautiful seascapes of the Cornish coast, then in the winter months when it is quite, she closes her gallery and travels to Manda where she paints the locals and the tranquil surroundings of Manda and Lamu. The African Galleries show some of the paintings Helen has done on her travels to Manda.
