An exhibition of recent work from Joanne Humphreys, Becky Dick, Oliver Stevens and Dawn Peacy.
Bringing together four Gloucestershire based artists. ‘More than just an image…..Untitled’ is an eclectic mix of contemporary sculpture, painting and drawing covering overlays of mediums, giving the viewer an exciting visual experience.
Each artist takes on the challenge of what is real and what we imagine through the exploration of their preferred medium.
Open from 10am – 6pm 5th May to 5th June 2018.
I’m a self-taught artist & have been painting for as long as I can remember. I have a wide range of styles & subject matter from fantastical imaginary worlds to classical landscapes! I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy painting them.

Oliver Stephens is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Gloucestershire. His work largely comprises of painting and drawing and is produced using a variety of mediums. His work has focused on many different themes ranging from; the existential, still life, ceramic tile designs, architecture, the spiritual, religious imagery, portraiture and gestural abstract painting. He generally loves to capture in some way anything he finds to be interesting visually. All of his paintings and other works are very different from one another, but they often seem to ‘work’ together. He likes their uniqueness because they form a sort of metaphor for humanity, our differences, diversity and our surroundings. His recent focus has been painting in a rather decorative manner, which is particularly suited to the modern home.
