Pauline Rignall & Claire Allam

8 June - 6 July

Opening 7:30pm Friday 7 June

"I am an intuitive and expressive artist. I like to interweave both abstract and figurative elements in my paintings. Imagination, the earth, the sky, the elements all feed into the inspiration that informs my work.

I have always been intrigued by dreams and myth which create the images that flow in and out of my paintings. I work quickly, but am constantly obliterating and reforming in the process of finding the poetics of the expression." Pauline Rignall

“I have made pots, drawn and painted for most of my life. An early memory is digging clay from a Cornish cliff with my father. I feel a keen sense of connection with the landscape and natural world and my work celebrates the movement and rhythms I find there.

Outdoor sketches, photographs and observation begin the process in which my paintings often inform my ceramic work. My choice of colours is British landscape informed – sea greens and greys, blue, rust, ochre and black, enlivened with copper reds.” Claire Allam

We are excited to welcome the joint exhibition of Pauline Rignall and Claire Allam.
