C-Art is Cumbria’s largest visual arts project, awarded ‘Tourism Event of the Year’ at the Cumbria Tourism Awards 2014. This year around 200 artists, designers and independent galleries will open their doors to the public from 13 – 28 September. Co-ordinated by Eden Arts, C-Art promotes and celebrates Cumbria’s abundant creative talent, inviting visitors to step into the gallery and beyond to see art, buy art, explore the landscape and meet the makers.

In addition to the popular open studios and gallery events, this year’s C-Art will feature ‘C-Art in Extraordinary Places’ - artists working in extraordinary locations, a new award for a Young Cumbrian Artist of the Year, and selected Micro-Commissions in the landscape, as well as a host of exhibitions, workshops and associated events.

It’s a perfect time of year to experience Cumbria’s beautiful landscape and to see art situated in some of the UK’s most picturesque towns and villages. See how work is made, talk to artists, watch demonstrations and visit private studios that are usually closed to the public.

Visit the C-Art website for updates and more information: www.c-art.org.uk

Extraordinary Places

C-Art in Extraordinary Places is a brand new scheme where artists will be taking up residence in unexpected spaces - old barns, cathedrals, stately homes, mines and even a mountain peak. C-Art is also working with The National Trust and key cultural destinations to promote art within beautiful heritage settings.

In May this year three C-Art artists took part in the Dumfries and Galloway event and we are delighted to have three Spring Fling artists joining us from across the border this September.

Joining us for the C-Art event this year:Dave Brittain, Ceramics (p17) • Lisa Rothwell-Young, Jewellery (p37) • Alice Francis, Installation (p64)

A number of C-Art artists have been selected for Micro Commissions, producing new work in the Cumbrian landscape throughout September, taking art beyond the gallery walls. Each of the artworks relate to Cumbria’s rural heritage or the tradition of Droving and will form part of Eden Arts’ Winter Droving event in Penrith on 15th November 2014.

C-Art Micro Commissions

The commissions have been awarded to Alice Francis, Annabel Lewis, Sarah Tew and Richardson Wood. For full details on the artworks, locations and dates visit www.c-art.org.uk

Which concern his learning in relation to the use of specific materials and media. Robin is self-taught. Some of the work includes his placing, and making photographic sketches of found objects. Robin attempts to look at something which might be considered to be ordinary and endeavours to present it in a new way.

Wolves, bison and deer roam the studio, alongside paintings of their habitat. I see the animals as Guardian Spirits, symbols of wilderness, and its loss... meditations on both the resilience and fragility of life. Much of the work references deep time, but recently images of WW1 have appeared; a warning against a certain mind-set and continuing the exploration of pathos and memory. I have exhibited nationally and in several international shows.

I use drawing, painting and mixed media to express a poetry of nature, bearing witness to the play of light and dark, and relationships of colours. Seemingly chance juxtapositions resolve into the significant horizon, silhouette or lines of motion. I wish my work to reflect a state of presence. I am working on new works using ink, watercolours, and oils on paper and canvas.

Delia Stevens10

My watercolour impressions are inspired by the north west of Cumbria. Though little known by comparison with the Lake District, the quality of light and space on the Solway Firth and the ever changing sky often tempts me out to paint. In contrast, ink drawings and more detailed paintings of flowers, people and animals show a different aspect of my work.

The natural world provides the starting point for much of my painting.

My starting point is usually: “What will happen if...?” I enjoy using a wide variety of materials: paint, textile and ceramic. My imagery is usually graphic and abstract though sometimes strays into the figurative when I draw or print. I am constantly delighted by the views towards Cross Fell from my studio and hope some of that delight comes through in my work. Always ready to put the kettle on!

This research includes: expanding the potential of serial composition and the Modernist grid; exploring spatial ambiguity and pictorial illusionism; and examining the relationship of abstract art to design and craft, by using pattern, repetition, and symmetry. I am also interested in testing the claims of expressionism by combining chance and self-reflexive production procedures.

Chris will not be in her studio this year but in various locations around Glenridding. Insects, ceramics and footpath work for Fix the Fells, three passions are combined in installations outdoors. There are at least three locations so all are able to access at least one site. Using ancient yet fragile insects to mirror the fragility of the landscape, I will install long lines of dragonflies or pools of butterflies each day - unless the weather is exceptionally windy!

I like to experiment with different media, but particularly enjoy painting with oils, because of their extreme versatility as a medium. I especially enjoy the challenge of trying to capture a sitter’s likeness in portraiture. Colour and texture are extremely important to me, and I am constantly inspired by their seemingly endless potential in my craft of spinning and weaving using wool and silk, and also in the creation of felt pictures.

Mark Pearce93

Mark is a Contemporary Landscape Artist and Printmaker, working with oils, pastels and mixed media. Mark also uses mixed print media i.e. reduction wood and lino blocks, dry point, carborundum and etching, to create vibrant and unique images. For Mark, making pictures is an attempt to share the excitement of the “noticing” of a light effect, a colour combination or a composition. Success will depend on remembering those “Noticing moments”

I remain deeply interested in the process of printmaking, and in how methods such as collagraph and monoprint present their own opportunities and unforeseen paths of investigation. I love creating subtle surfaces on printing plates, mostly by unorthodox, low-tech means, and connecting their printed appearance to the textures I see in the landscapes around me in Cumbria. Sometimes these textures find their way into clay and become a ceramic piece.

I love to explore the versatility of free-machine embroidery to create textured surfaces, lacy fabrics, imagery, using thread alone or in innovative ways with recycled fabrics. I am inspired by all that is around me and by the challenges and possibilities of stitch. I am currently exited by playing with layering fabrics with my needle felting machine! I share my passion for textiles with a variety of workshops.

Glass designer-maker. I studied art and design at the University of Cumbria. I create striking splash-backs and funky door handles, made to order. Also, beautiful jewellery often incorporating sterling silver. My current work explores the natural and man-made patterns in the landscape, inspired by old stone walls containing vibrant fields, to raging rivers and meandering streams.

My recent oil on canvas paintings are in the old tradition of landscape, and yet are out-of-the-ordinary Cumbrian landscapes. Inspired by The Impressionist Movement, my style is bold and bright, the brushwork energetic. As a former photojournalist, I’m now exploring a relatively peaceful and cathartic environment, such is my response to the landscape where I live and work now. I will also be exhibiting some of my paintings during C-Art at Goosewell Farm, in Keswick.

Surrounded by the Cumbrian landscape, it would be surprising if this were not reflected in my images. But a passion for travel also influences the sources for my inspiration. However, I have moved away from a representational photographic style towards a more impressionistic approach, often painterly. And often it is the details in the landscape rather than the broader sweep which capture my attention. Expect the unexpected!

Studied at Carlisle College of Art 1956 – 61 Painting N.D.D. From there I gained entry to the R.A Schools graduating Dip R.A.S. 1961 - 64 I have since 1981 concentrated on relief printmaking as the medium where I could best explore my interest in chromatic colour in multiples. Particularly I find interesting the restrictions of the reduction method of making prints. I print with a teaspoon in a registration box.

Anna Blair149

I am a textile artist, I create silk shibori wall art and accessories. My inspiration comes from the natural world, with subtle but intricate details of plants and flowers reflecting empathetically the textures I create within my work. I use traditional shibori binding techniques and incorporate a modern twist by using the process to add a three dimensional texture to fabrics and the use of digital print to add colour.

Jonathan Leech150

I have a passion for working with wood, expressing its natural beauty within a contemporary design. All my timber is locally sourced and is obtained sustainably, for example from fallen or storm damaged trees. My preferred style is ‘minimalist’, using a simple design which allows the wood to express its own qualities. This often includes natural edges, knot-holes, burrs, spalting, and other naturally-occurring imperfections. Each piece is truly unique.

Rowena Beaty152

I work with stone, making figurative sculptures based on the human form. At present I am working mostly in Lincoln limestone, Naxos marble and Italian alabaster. All the work is made using traditional hand tools i.e. hammer and chisel. Having grown up in Cumbria, the landscape has been a continuing source of inspiration, and our connectedness with nature is a central theme in the work.
