ABSTRACTSION – Paintings by Sam Wilkins and Eleanor Woolley, Tuesday 30 June to 12 July, 10.00am to 4.00pm daily

As part of this year’s FarOpen Trail, we’re delighted to host an exhibition by Sam Wilkins who specialises in semi-abstract landscapes of the local area and Eleanor Woolley, whose portraits and observations of the human scene are equally bold and characterful.

Sam Wilkins
In her landscapes, Sam seeks out the geometry in the shapes before her, finding patterns, playing with negative space and trying to find that delicate equilibrium, similar to an algebraic equation, that balances colour, texture and form to create a pleasing outcome.

Eleanor Woolley
Based in Gloucestershire, Eleanor is a figurative and landscape painter, taking her inspiration from both the urban and rural landscape and the human interaction within it. After gaining a BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University, she travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study furniture-making. Eleanor worked as a cabinet-maker and a restorer before returning to Fine Art painting.
