Catherine Hyde exhition ‘Moving through Darkness’
MEDIA RELEASE COURTESY: Foss Fine Art
Foss Fine Art is presenting Catherine Hyde's much-awaited first London solo exhibition.
Catherine trained in Fine Art Painting at Central School of Art in London in the late 70's and has shown her work consistently and successfully in galleries for nearly 30 years. Since moving to Cornwall nine years ago her work has become increasingly popular and is collected world-wide.
She is well known for her intellectual and symbolic paintings, charged with supernatural atmospheric iconic images. Recently Catherine's work has reached a far wider audience following her interpretation of Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's new fairytale "The Princess' Blankets.
Her show "Moving through Darkness" will consist of 17 beautiful new acrylic on canvas paintings enhanced with gold and copper leaf. The series explores her continuing obsession with the waxing and waning moon and the meeting points between land, air and water.
"In my painting I am constantly attempting to convey the landscape in a state of suspension in order to gain glimpses of its interconnectedness, its history and beauty. Within the images I use the archetypical hare, stag, owl and fish as emblems of wildness, fertility and permanence: their movements and journeys through the paintings act as vehicles that bind the elements and the seasons together."
Awards: Winner of the Key Stage 2 Fiction Award in the 2009 English 4-11 Best Children's Illustrated Book Awards. Nominated for The Kate Greenaway Illustration award 2010 and the UKLA children's book award 20
Dates:
Private View: Saturday 25th September, Noon - 7pm 2010
Open to the public: 28th September - 23rd October 2010
