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!

I have a pastel painting entitled 'Winter at the Chase' (Cannock Chase) in this exhibition. In 2022 I exhibited 6 pastels of landscapes for the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Members to consider and vote on. I was successful, and donated one of my six artworks to the RBSA permanent collection. https://rbsa.org.uk/about-us/collection/ This artwork is currently exhibited as part of this exhibition.

‘Drawing with dry media is as old as mankind.  Ochre and charcoal dust were blown through straws onto cave walls by the first artists.  In more recent times, the dry media of pencil, pastel, and charcoal were favoured by travelling artists as ideal for drawing with minimum of fuss on site in sketchbooks or portfolios.  Drawing was the means through which European artists recorded, prepared, studied, and imagined, and it was often a prelude to painting or engraving.  Dry media were also central to art training and versatile both en plein air and in the studio.’

Artists in Conversation: Saturday 23 March 2.00 – 3.00pm Join me in conversation with Brendan Flynn, Professor of Art History, when we talk about ‘Winter at the Chase’.

As part of the first heritage exhibition of 2024, join Brendan Flynn, RBSA Professor of Art History, for an in conversation event with four of the artists whose work is included in Drawing on the RBSA Collection – Dry Media Works 1822 – 2022.

We will be joined by:

Paul Bartlett RBSA – Not Very Well, 1994
Linda Nevill RBSA – Winter at the Chase, c.2022
Janette Summerfield RBSA – Vitalism 2, c.2015
David Walton RBSA – Hippopotamus Amphibius, c.2005

Brendan will give an introduction to the exhibition before inviting the artists to discuss their work and approach to dry media.  Questions from visitors will then be welcome.

There is no need to book for this event.

Exhibiting in the elected Members and Associates exhibition at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Gallery, Brook Street, Birmingham

I am exhibiting 3 landscape paintings in this exhibition.

 I've been having a lot of fun working with oil paint mixed with some cold wax medium.  This gives it texture and it is possible to work with transparent layers to create depth. I've also embedded slate dust and raw pigment into some of the paintings, including of the Honister Pass in the Lake District.

This painting conveys the atmosphere of a beautiful, Autumn day in the Lake District. The sky is grey, it has been raining and the colour of the mountains is muted. Then, a moment of excitement as the sun breaks through illuminating the more distant fell. There is a sublime splash of colour. The burnt sienna of the bracken and the light slope next to it are revealed.

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
