Ad Lib Gallery is delighted to present a duo exhibition of works by artists Sam Peacock and Hannah Ivory Baker.

Inspired by rural and coastal landscapes, Sam Peacock challenges the traditional notion of landscape painting in every aspect of his work. Peacock’s unique interpretation of landscape painting involves the use of non-traditional oil base paints, varnishes, coffee grains and a variety of raw materials, all composed on a sheet of steel. Colour, being a major aspect of the work, is inspired by the colours of the land itself, with each pallet being created from one specific location.

Hannah Ivory Baker’s work is inspired by the natural world; the rugged Cornish coast to the relative serenity of the Somerset levels, all of which provide a wealth of artistic opportunity, creative interpretation and expression. Each of her pieces derives from a plein air sketch done in oil, charcoal or mixed media that aims to record basic shape, tone, light and any striking features of landscape. These sketches provide her with the inspiration for larger paintings done in her studio.

Private View: Thursday 18th April, 6 – 8 pm
