Rye Creative Centre’s first Studio Summer Show, curated by Matthew Burrows MBE, will bring together studio holders’ work from printmaking and sculpture to painting, photography and textiles.

Both artists distil the aspects of nature that fascinate them by means of colour in order to depict the essence of their subject at its most fundamental. Sarah Seymour’s recent work strives to encapsulate the essence of these birds by stripping away much of the form and leaving the colour to depict the species. Helen Rawlinson is showing her new body of work, inspired by looking at close up images of flowers combined with an obsession of the eroded layers of pattern and colour on walls and floors.

An exhibition of paintings by four painters whose work considers the personal and political aspects of humanity's relationship with the natural world.

This is a rare opportunity to see a solo show of Nick Archer’s new and recent work at Rye Creative Centre where he holds a studio space in his home town of Rye.

Sara Dare is an abstract painter and installation artist based in coastal Sussex and works throughout the South East and London, she was awarded a solo show at Rye Creative Centre whilst featuring at The Winter Salon Exhibition. Her paintings ‘In-between’ and ‘Peaked’ were selected for this prize by painter and curator Paula MacArthur and Victoria Howarth, Head of Exhibitions at The Jerwood Gallery.
