Artists Karenne Anne and Vonne Beyer are bringing an enchanting exhibition all to do with the colour blue to St Leonards.
The Blue Show was inspired by the pair’s 2019 trip to the Greek Isle of Skopelos, where they became fascinated with representations of the female figure, particularly goddesses.
Ms Anne is a photographer who explores ideas of history and culture, and Ms Beyer is a painter who loves colour and texture.
With the azure of the Aegean Sea serving as their guiding muse, the duo have returned to the aesthetic of blue, whether ultramarine, aqua or cobalt, many times in their work.
This upcoming exhibition at shed_31 celebrates the hues and subtleties of the colour blue in their artwork – the abstract, representational, and photographic.
Shed_31, is a not for profit gallery set up by Ms Anne in St Leonards.
Ms Beyer said nature was the ultimate medium to channel the colour.
“The artworks in this show are based on experiences with nature. The sea, vegetation, changes in the light at different times of day,” she said.
“We hope that viewers will be inspired to see blues and other colours around them, and realise the myriad subtleties within all of them.
“Being by the sea is the most suitable for a collection of works which strongly reference the deep blues of the bay and other oceanic locations.”.
The exhibition opened on 25 October and continues until 8 November.
Opening hours are by appointment by calling 0404-294 674.
