LUCIE BRAY & SARAH PURVEY
25th May to 6th July
An exhibition of paintings by highly regarded St Ives painter Lucie Bray, who returns to New Craftsman this year for her third solo NC show. One of only a handful of contemporary local painters who work completely in the outdoors, Bray's energetic oil paintings are defined by the distinctive and incidental quality of her mark marking.
Alongside Lucie's work will be an exhibition of ceramics by Sarah Purvey, whose hand built, crank clay works are known for their strong form and bold, scribed surfaces. Purvey’s landscape inspired pieces have been exhibited both nationally and as far away as Tokyo and New York.
On show Whitweek and throughout June
Private View 25th May 6.30 to 8.30 pm. For an invitation please add your details to our mailing list here

NEIL DAVIES, TANYA GOMEZ & JANE REEVES
13th July to 7th September
New Craftsman is proud to welcome back acclaimed landscape painter Neil Davies with an exhibition of dramatic new works for summer 2013.
Painting from his studio on the rural outskirts of St Ives, Davies’ work is inspired by the starkly beautiful and ever changing landscape of the far west peninsula. Known for his dramatic oil paintings of Penwith’s most spectacular views, Davies work plays witness to the seasonal changes, shifting light and elemental power of Atlantic weather systems over a coast eternally exposed to wind, storm and sea.
Accompanying the exhibition will be a showcase of vivid, contemporary ceramics by Tanya Gomez and seascapes by fused glass artists Jane Reeves.
On show from mid July and throughout August
Focus on Five:
TERENCE COVENTRY, JUDY BUXTON, JEREMY ANNEAR, GUY ROYLE & ELSPETH OWEN
