Ironbridge Fine Arts Gallery - I'm a featured artist in the Spring Show, 1 March-24 May 2025

 

Coming Soon: Linda Nevill Returns with a Brand New Body of Work

At Ironbridge Fine Arts Gallery
1 March - 24 May 2025


We are thrilled to announce that Linda Nevill will be returning to Ironbridge Fine Arts with an exciting new collection of artwork, set to open in Spring 2025. This eagerly anticipated exhibition will showcase Linda’s latest body of work, which includes a series of oil and cold wax paintings, as well as intricate pieces created with charcoal dust, cold wax, and oil paint on board. Additionally, Linda will be presenting a selection of her stunning works on paper, thoughtfully mounted and wrapped for the browser.

Linda’s artistic process is rooted in her profound connection to the landscape. As a passionate outdoor painter, she delights in sketching and painting in all weather conditions, immersing herself in the environment around her. Her plein air studies – created directly from nature – form the heart of her creative practice. These outdoor sketches allow Linda to capture the pure essence of the landscape, bringing its atmosphere and energy into her work.

For Linda, working outdoors is not just a means of observation but a way to communicate with the land itself. She has a special ability to translate the emotions and sensations generated by the natural world into her artwork, giving viewers a glimpse into her personal experience with nature. Her sketches act as a foundation for her studio paintings, where she brings the energy and feeling of the outdoors back into the studio.

Once inside her studio, Linda transforms these outdoor studies into atmospheric works, layering oil paint with cold wax to build depth and texture. The combination of oil and cold wax allows Linda to create a richness and tactile quality in her paintings, giving each piece a sense of intimacy and presence. Her work feels alive, as though it holds the very spirit of the landscapes she’s observed, a memory of the outdoors that she carries within herself.

Each painting reflects Linda’s unique artistic journey, as she seeks to preserve and share the essence of nature in a way that feels personal and deeply connected. The result is a body of work that is both reflective and immersive, allowing viewers to experience the landscape through Linda’s eyes and emotions.

We are incredibly excited to share this new collection with you and invite you to experience the beauty and depth of Linda Nevill’s work. Stay tuned for more details as we approach the opening of her exhibition in Spring 2025. This is an exhibition not to be missed!

Art Residency at Brisons Veor, Cape Cornwall, in July and early August 2024

 A fortnight at Brisons Veor, Cape Cornwall

I was lucky enough to have a two week residency to create art in a house net to the sea at Cape Cornwall.

What a fabulous fortnight experiencing changing weather and light on the landscape while listening to the roar of the sea. 

During the first week I sketched mainly using charcoal dust and cold wax on oil paper, sometimes adding oil paint.   Then in the second week I developed oil paintings on panels. It was possible to focus fully and to soak up the sights and sounds of the coast.

I shared the residency with Julie Marcus - we worked separately in different studios and outside but came together to exchange thoughts on our artwork, to visit a couple of exhibitions, laugh and swim.

 






The residency is run through the charitable trust Brisons Veor and is made possible by the generous gift of the house to the trust by Tracey O'Kate.


The name, Brisons Veor, comes from the rocks directly off the coast near the house.
