Artweeks comes to West Ox Arts Gallery in Bampton
This year’s Artweeks exhibition at West Ox Arts will show a lively mixture of painting, sculpture, stone-work and ceramics, throughout the very arty month of May.
Oxfordshire’s C21 Group is one of the county’s longest-established creative art groups. Painting exclusively in oil, the group’s members share a passion for colour, tone and composition, giving their diversity of style a sense of harmony. The members gather at Stanton St John once a week to paint and to exchange ideas, while supporting and encouraging one another in their endeavours. Eleven artists are showing their paintings in our gallery during Artweeks. Collectively, the C21 Group has exhibited at ‘The Gallery’, Cork Street in London; the Said Business School and the North Wall in Oxford; and the Oxford Museum in Woodstock.
Sculpture and stone-work is provided by Piotr Gargas, who lives in Witney and carves stone gargoyles for a number of Oxford colleges. He studied architectural masonry in Poland, and moved to Oxford ten years ago, when he says he instantly fell in love with the city. He works in all kinds of materials: wood, clay, but mainly in stone and recently even digital sculpting. In his day job he has contributed to the renovation of iconic Oxford buildings, including the Bodleian Library, Magdalen College, Exeter College, Christ Church, St Mary's Church.
Claire Powell is exhibiting an attractive and diverse range of ceramics, made in her studio set amongst the rolling hills of Gloucestershire. Over the years she has developed a unique method of glazing by incorporating leaves, grasses and seed heads into her finished designs, therefore making each bowl, jug or mug both distinctive and unique. Her skills in producing thrown pieces and her development of interesting glazing techniques have made her work very collectible.
