A solo exhibition by popular local artist Andrea Jenkins opens in The Gallery, Shaftesbury Arts Centre when it re-opens on Monday, April 12.
Andrea can draw on a lifetime of engagement with art to express ideas in a variety of styles and two-dimensional mediums.
She said “I am excited to be showing my recent work at The Gallery as it reopens. The main focus of the exhibition will be strongly-coloured abstract paintings and mixed media pieces. Working with bright colour has kept me cheerful over the past months, especially during the dark grey days of winter and lockdown. There will also be some closely observed representational work that expresses my concern for the local natural environment.”
The Gallery has a full calendar of exciting exhibitions coming up, including Sandy Roberts and her group for Dorset Art Weeks. In the meantime, until the doors officially open, pieces from the cancelled exhibitions are displayed in the windows.
Once open, The Gallery will follow Government’s guidelines on COVID compliance, so it will be safe to visit.
