Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December 2013
Every year Curwen Gallery runs a special exhibition in aid of the charity Macmillan Cancer Support.All works sold in the exhibition give a percentage (at least 10%) of the wall price to the charity.
The exhibition is an eclectic mix of many different artists including those represented by the gallery, artists that are new to us and artists that exhibit with the gallery on this one occassion and are specific to the exhibition.

| Suzanne Baker, Kerry Fir I, goache, £875 |
This year we are very priviledged to be showing a large body of work from the distinguished scultptor Trevor Edmands. Edmands makes sculptural assemblages of found objects which have a distinct feeling of the later sculptural works of Antoni Tapies.This altered violin is a particularly close example and one of our favourite pieces from the collection.

| Trevor Edmands, Spirit of the Violin, altered violin |
Another interesting piece on show is
Sardines by Robin Spalding, small, framed plaster castings of actual sardines, gilded with silver leaf and then painted to look (almost!) like the real thing. They were made in response to the much loved lithograph
Sardines by Glynn Boyd Harte (showing immediately at Curwen Gallery after as part of a large retrospective of the artist).
 |
| Robin Spalding, Sardines, plaster, silver leaf and oil, £360 |
New to the gallery is Charlotte Lyon, a very successful artist currently living and working in Amsterdam.Her lovely piece
Piranhas (below)
is part of a small body of work which she has brought to the UK specifically for this exhibition.Also in this exhibition are a new line of mugs by gallery artist Brendan Hansbro, featuring animal characters from his otherworldly menagerie.

| Charlotte Lyon, Piranhas, acrylic with charcoal, 50 x 50cm, £1200 |
