'To be there' - new solo exhibition of pastel landscapes at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Gallery, opening Tuesday 17 August 2021

 

'To be there'

Solo Exhibition 

Royal Birmingham Society of Artists - ground floor

17 August – 3 October 2021

 

Linda Nevill would love to be in any of these landscapes again whether in sunshine or snow, on a clifftop overlooking the sea or high in the hills.  These are her responses to a range of landscapes evoking memories of, amongst other things, the softness of heather, the searing heat on the coastal path, the tingling of ice and the crunching of footsteps in snow.

Working in all weathers to make plein air sketches and studies she works with these and photographs to create finished pieces.

For this exhibition she has worked with vibrant soft pastels

Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' elected Members and Associates exhibition opens Thursday 21 November. Private View 6-8pm

I'm exhibiting two pieces in this exhibition which opens tomorrow in the RBSA Gallery, St Paul's Square, Birmingham.

All welcome to the private view 6-8pm.

I'm exhibiting two pieces.   One is an oil painting 'Across the plain at Ronda' inspired by a week sketching there in July.The other is an etching entitled, 'Moon and Magnolia' inspired by seeing my magnolia tree at 3 am on a moonlit night.

Removing the 'ground' from the metal plate, revealing the marks I made when I painted my image using a 'lift ground' paste on the metal

It's a little like magic as the image is revealed.

My etching plate as etching is underway in the copper sulphate saline solution

The mordant (in this case copper sulphate with salt added) 'bites' grooves into the metal plate in preparation for my printing it.

Meet the Artist: Linda Nevill ARBSA Saturday 16 March at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Gallery, St Paul's Square

I am exhibiting some etchings at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists from 
11 Feb- 30 March  and have a Meet the Artist day Saturday 16 March 11-4pm

http://www.rbsa.org.uk/whats-on/events/meet-the-artist-linda-nevill-arbsa/

Linda has collaborated with Emma Purshouse and Jane Seabourne over many years creating art inspired by poetry and poetry inspired by art. Meet Linda during her ground floor exhibition on Saturday 16th March. There will also be a live poetry performance from 2pm-2.30pm. 

In this collection of etchings Linda has explored a wide range of ideas including different aspects of landscape, still life, flamingos in captivity and football as a man’s game. She works also with contrasts to create social comment.  For example, the brightly lit clothes shop windows with their haughty, disdainful models and the homeless woman seated outside.  Or the blue, temporary tented homes set up in front of a block of flats where people live in heated accommodation with televisions and fridges and appliances.
