* Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Tate Modern
A retrospective of an avant-garde leader of the abstract movement
As well as her era-defining turned-wood Dada Heads, her involvement in the Parisian<www.cntraveller.com/gallery/paris-hotels> art scene and her geometric compositions, Sophie Taeuber-Arp is most remarkable for taking her artistic expression on an experimental journey that travelled through textiles, marionettes, sculpture, collage, embroidery and interiors<www.cntraveller.com/gallery/golden-interiors-around-the-world>. Constantly – and often controversially – pushing the boundaries of art, design<www.cntraveller.com/gallery/green-interior-design> and craft, her multidisciplinary approach to these mediums meant she was also pushing her own boundaries. This posthumous exhibition explores that sense of being perpetually in development – unfinished, open-ended and leaving space for those that follow in her footsteps.

Profile
Michael is based in Winchester and Head of Art School at Winchester College.
He studied Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University, later returning to gain an MA in Education, focusing on the teaching of art. Michael’s teaching informs his own practice and vice versa.
Fascinated by narratives of time and place, his work is informed by experiences of remote rural environments where tidal cycles, prevailing weather and changing light conditions imprint memories, influencing the recall of a specific place.
Rooted in mark-making and drawing, Michael examines the relationship between visual source material, recalled imagery and experiences recorded in words. By exploring shifting perceptions of memory and past subliminal influences, he looks at the past through the lens of the present.
Alongside his fine art practice and teaching career, Michael has also been artist in residence at Brentford Football Club. He has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally, both in solo and group exhibitions.
Coastal Gallery is delighted to feature a selection of Michael’s work, particularly pieces inspired by the Isle of Wight.
CLAIRE WILTSHER has been selected to show one of her beautiful paintings at The Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition 2021 15 April 2021 to24 April 2021
11am to 4pm
The Royal Society of British Artists boasts just over one hundred of the UK’s top painters, sculptors and printmakers as members, all possessing the highest levels of skill in their chosen styles and media. Alongside the membership, the exhibition will include works selected from the Society’s open call.
Each year hundreds of artworks are submitted to be considered by the panel of professional artists who select the exhibition and award the prizes. St Barbe is proud to provide this showcase for the wonderful creations of our local artistic community.
Despite two years of lockdowns and disruption the St Barbe Open has continued and returns this spring for its 21st showing. In the unprecedented circumstances of 2020 and 2021 the Open has given local artists a chance to display the fruits of their creativity during enforced periods of isolation. Last year works referenced the challenges of lockdown and were inspired by the wonders of nature that we have the good fortune to be surrounded by here in the New Forest.
The exhibition is open to any artist, amateur or professional, who can submit up to two paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics or textile works. Usually around 80 are selected and shown to stunning effect in St Barbe’s national-standard galleries. There is no theme and the judges only selection criterion is quality. A wide range of subjects and media is guaranteed including the beautiful, the strange and the humorous.
Prizes sponsored by Kate Welsh, Coastal Gallery and Beaulieu Fine Arts are awarded for the best print, abstract and work by a non-professional artist, while the Lymington Business Centre Award gives all exhibition visitors a chance to vote for the People’s Choice prize.
For the last three years the museum has also run a Young Artist’s Open which welcomes entrants from a few months to eighteen years old to exhibit alongside the adult entries, encouraging our young people to get creative from their earliest years. Long-time St Barbe supporter Gordon Young generously offers four ‘Ted Marsh Awards’ in cash and artists materials in memory of the museum’s founding chairman.
