Marilyn Browning - 9th September to 5th October
Badcocks gallery have been showing Marilyn Browning’s paintings
regularly over a period of 10 years. This exhibition “Safely Gathered”
celebrates the end of summer and all the abundance that brings, the
commencement of autumn, gathering and collecting of fruits, flowers and
memories of summer days.
These paintings are rich with offerings in bowls and cups, they represent the gifts from nuturing and caring, growth and eventual harvest. But all these gifts are quiet, they have space to breath and be still, they make one stop, look and contemplate. As Marilyn herself explains “Autumn berries safely gathered, mellow fruits collected, displayed and cherished are centre stage in these paintings. A description of bountiful harvest, a fruitfulness with prediction of plenty”.
The gallery is also featuring a series of new ceramics by Remon Jephcott and recent paintings by Hannah Davies in the back gallery.
About Badcocks:
Badcocks Gallery opened in 2000, It is the only independent gallery in Newlyn.
Nickie Carlyon has spent a large part of her working career developing and nurturing a broad understanding of 20thC contemporary & 21stC modern art brought to you through monthly shows at Badcocks Gallery.
Newlyn itself remains directly associated with 200 years of venerated art, entwining this elegant, established and successful gallery, whose primary accent springs from the sea and the topography. Exposed over three rooms of open, light, white space, looking out on the heart of the Cornish fishing port, the viewer is drawn in through the artists eye to the works on display. All works are one-off and personally sourced from studio-based artists. Exhibitions from the key artist hang alongside work by specialist makers of prints, jewellery, glass and ceramics .
