LOCAL artists have artwork up in Leigh Community Centre’s Cup of Leigh café, celebrating life past and present.
The Artists in Residence Dorisarty is joined by guest artists for a colourful exhibition, including
Anne Pettenuzzo’s work, which exemplifies life’s simple pleasures, and the sacrifice of others, influenced by the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
Claire Burgoyne’s cyanotypes were inspired by her travels to France, with each print made with her sister Helen, who is an established Artist in Limousin.
Ms Burgoyne said: “We both made cyanotypes on an inclement weather day!
“Interestingly the conditions brought a ghostly element to the unique prints. I have used different mediums to enhance this and make memories.”
Meanwhile, Peter Ruddock found that during lockdown, he found he wanted to express himself as freely as possible, and painting helped him do this.
He adds: “I didn’t want to be constrained by any desire to produce something that could be judged as good or bad, or even bear any resemblance to anything in real life.
“I have always been moved by the work of Mark Rothko, Bridget Riley and Barnett Newman, without really understanding why.
“So, I started experimenting using their work as a starting point.”
See all the work in various media at the café, until August 3rd.
