New Walk museum, LSA exhibition


The other day i decided to visit New Walk museum, because they are currently having an exhibition of members of Leicester Society of Artists that i was interested in seen.

I liked the exhibition in general but there were some pieces that grabbed my attention more that others, for instance this drawing by Jill Hailes, called Holiday Sketches, i was impressed with the way he practically made a collage but creating a landscape, combining textures and buildings and making everything a beautiful mess that is surprisingly really easy to read and understand.

The next pieces are three drawings by John Barradell called Mezquita drawings, i thought it was very cool how he made shadows, basically scrawling, portraying a really gloomy atmosphere, working with light and darknes, actually i really liked some of the drawing pieces i saw in this exhibition, so i might use some of them for my drawing presentation.

The last ones are paintings by an artist called Jane French, Malcolm, Joe and Solomon; totally eye-catching, it was pretty easy to feel attracted by them, the colours were amazing, so bright and right selected, i loved the colour pallete she used and the fact that you can recognise each feature but the paint strokes were clearly noticeable and i always love to see that because you can feel the movements the painter did and learn from them.
