INTO THE BLUE: Exhibition at The Brownston Gallery, Modbury

This time of year brings with it the promise of long, warm days and expansive blue skies. Reflecting this seasonal mood, INTO THE BLUE is a vibrant mixed exhibition that explores colour, atmosphere and place through a diverse range of styles and subjects, from surrealism and graffiti to abstraction and more traditional land and seascapes.

The exhibition features Mark Fielding, whose work captures luminous, water-based scenes, alongside Ben Lucas, known for his atmospheric coastal paintings. Joe Webster presents his distinctive graffiti-inspired works, while Emma Carter Bromfield brings bold interpretations of well-loved local beaches.

Further responses to the natural world can be seen in the work of Jo Thorne, Karen Popham, Mike Moss, Tina Tiana, Keng Wai Lee and Fernando Asian, each offering a distinct perspective and painterly approach.

Andrew Miller exhibits new work inspired by familiar landmarks, including a striking depiction of Start Point and another longstanding favourite, Charles Jamieson with his distinctive style and use of colour is showcasing some lovely landscapes. The gallery also welcomes Anne Ward, whose abstract paintings bring a fresh and dynamic addition to the exhibition.

INTO THE BLUE is a lively and engaging show that celebrates the richness of contemporary painting, offering something to intrigue and resonate with every visitor.
