As always, the exhibition brings together well known Guildford Art Society members along with new first time exhibitors. On display will be coloured glass sculptures and bowls by Jenefer Ham composed from poetic observations of nature. A regular favourite is animalier Carol Orwin - whose sculptures of animals sculpted in polymer resins and bronze metal fillers reveal the skeletal strength and muscled contours of the creatures and the power and beauty of their natural lines. Liz Seward-Relfe opens the eye to the magic of colour, light and shapes in her still-life paintings of mixed media. Roger Dellar observes the pattern groups of people create, the shapes between them lighting vivid contrasts in his canvas of powerful colours. Abstract artist Michael Woods takes rhythmic forms from the countryside evolving them into balanced colour-scapes. Flower paintings bring exquisite observations of botanical growth, and Nola Armstrong explores contemporary colour-patterns created from her flowers, fabrics and pots. These and all the exhibiting artists have intensified their time ‘to stand and stare’ to bring the reality of close observation - and more to the exhibition. Artists come to exhibit their work from as far as Woking, Farnham, Dorking and Hindhead and have faced an independent selection committee to be included in the show. Members of the Society who have achieved outside success this year include Roger Dellar, already an R.I. and P.S. who has been elected a member of ‘The Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ this year. John Bryce’s paintings and etchings have been on show at the Head Office of Baker Tilly in London. Carol Orwin, Allison Graham, Peter Howitt and Judy Coleman were among the local artists selected to exhibit at the Yvonne Arnaud Art Exhibition this year. Nola Armstrong shows with the Society of Floral Painters. A few successful members show their work at the Mall Galleries. Roger Dellar and John Bryce have both had work in The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London over recent years.
