JAN PHETHEAN, SALT-WATER-LIGHT 25April to 23rd May 2010
Salt- Water-Light is a collection of work completed through the winter of 2009/2010. The reflections of the sea seen from my studio inspired my studies of the surface of salt water. I am endlessly fascinated by the transient patterns created by spray and light. I seek to express the sublime nature of the sea and to capture its elusive, restless energy in my painting through layers of colour and texture.
JOHN PECK -Painting the mines with light.
23rd May to 20th June 2010

Layer upon layer,exposed to the elements, glimpses of their creation are revealed. I work mostly in acylic, sometimes mixed media, combining intuition, spontineity and a sense of experimentation to create both subtle and complex surfaces of texture and colour

MARTIN SADLER 12th September to 10th October 2010
This collection of small still lives concentrates on flowers, fruit and cakes. Unframed, they are painted on canvases with deep, painted edges so that they can be propped on a shelf or dresser as easily as they can be hung. Whether a vase of tulips, a bowl of cherries or a fondant-topped cupcake, each painting is a delicious combination of colours and textures that is highly appealing in any domestic setting.
PHILIP LYONS 10th October to 7th November 2010
Cubist landscapes - PHILIP LYONS the painter is a visual analyst. He sees the world and then reconstructs it in his paintings in what seems at first to be a simplified way but is in fact very complex

Nick Henshall 17th July to 14th August 2011
The rich tapestry of Nick’s life in Newlyn has added a depth of knowledge and understanding that those merely acting as bystanders are rarely privy to. His art work is inspired by the fishermen, boats and people of Newlyn with whom he has a genuine personal relationship and history.
