2020photovision (Zone B4 – B8)
2020 Photovision are a group of photographers sharing a passion for producing and exhibiting printed images in a digital age.
The work reflects differing styles, experiences and interests and how they each see and interpret the world around them.
To share these printed images in exhibition venues is their goal, showing a creative range of visual impressions from sport and natural history to abstract and street photography.
It is the diversity of the work that strengthens the motivation of the group to pursue the intent to share prints more widely. They hope the images will be enjoyed by those who come to visit and, at the same time, provoke questions, thoughts and ideas.
The photographers include:
Dr Barrie Brown CPAGB
Angela Ford ARPS EFIAP/bronze
Roger Ford FRPS EFIAP/platinum, Member of The London Salon of Photography
Andrew Moss
Linda Wevill FRPS EFIAP/bronze, Member of The London Salon of Photography
‘Lustre’ An Exhibition by Somerset Art Works (Zone B25)
Celebrating Somerset Art Works’ 30th Anniversary, Lustre features 30 selected works from SAW Members reflecting on the importance of creativity and wellbeing. SAW is Somerset’s only countywide agency dedicated to developing the visual arts. The exhibition has been curated especially for Somerset Open Studios by Paul Newman.
The exhibition was originally shown by Art for Life in Taunton and considers notions around health and creative well being, supporting the creative community and providing a positive environment for patients.
This opportunity was open to application from all SAW Members, with the selected works creating a celebration of Somerset Art Works, it’s Members and the importance and positivity of art in our lives.
Somerset Art Works has carefully nurtured artist development and wellbeing over the past three decades and each artist in this exhibition has reflected on what creativity and well-being means to them at this time.
“ As we live in times of crises of individual, communal and environmental health, we are compelled to act in radical ways that will transform our and the planet’s survival. Creative health, therefore, not only enables us to thrive but also is a political act of resistance.” Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance (CHWA)
