NICOLA LORD
Living and working near the Dorset coastline Nicola Lord is spoilt for inspiration. Her mixed media paintings display a strong use of colour and playful compositions that balance between landscape and abstraction.
“I convey what I see and feel with paint and brush, exploring horizon lines and experimenting with elements such as boats and small buildings depicted as shapes on the landscape. Each painting evolves with time and seasonal change which dictates my palette from soft muted tones to hot hazy colours. I will never tire of such a diverse subject as it is a constant inspiration”.
CURWEN'S SUMMER SPECTACULAR
Curwen & New Academy are ending the summer season with an exhibition of art from a wide variety of artists. The works in this show include many small scale paintings, prints and sculptures from the Curwen’s collection, some of which have not been exhibited for many years including Franta Belsky’s Sunbather (above). If you haven’t managed to get to one of the Curwen basement rummage parties yet, this show is a must see.
ENDS SATURDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER

Cass, Bender & Lynch
Nikki Cass, Rodney Bender & Michael Lynch
26 May – 19 June 2010
Private view Tues 25 May 6-8pm
There will be a talk by Nikki Cass & Rod Bender on Saturday 19th June at 3:30pm
This exhibition brings together the work of two artists working in glass, Nikki Cass & Rodney Bender and a painter, Michael Lynch.
NIKKI CASS
Nikki Cass' glasswork draws inspiration from natural and urban landscapes. Bold abstract colours, expressive paint marks and related forms are built up like layers of time. Her work incorporates painting, casting, slumping and fusing techniques. The most recent work has also brought spaces, fragments, circles and rough and smooth edges to the glass. A new series of “Talking Heads” explore portraits and foliate heads.
Nikki has been working with glass for 24 years. She has worked on large and small scale commissions for public, private and corporate clients. Nikki has work in collections in Britain, Australia, Sweden, France and the U.S.A.
RODNEY BENDER
Rodney Bender has worked in glass for the past 35 years, first in Australia and since 1978
in the UK. He has worked in Industry in the UK and studied at the Welsh School of
You are invited to the opening reception on Architectural Glass, now part of Swansea Metropolitan University. He taught for many years and and became Head of School at Swansea. In 2001 he set up IGP Ltd a glass design and manufacturing business that has worked with an eclectic mix of artists, designers, architects and engineers.
He currently divides his time as Research Fellow at Swansea Metropolitan University, managing IGP and pursuing his own practice as a maker. After many years working primarily with windows and screens his work has recently incorporated three-dimensional designs.
MICHAEL LYNCH
Lynch first sprays stencils and templates onto a support, then overlays additional drawn shapes, juxtaposing multi-layered areas with quieter spaces. He rarely has a fixed idea about the outcome. A painting works for him when the drawn and sprayed forms interact in ways which, although abstract, evoke aspects of our environment that we may recognise without being sure exactly what they are, or where we have seen them before.
