ART & ABOUT<br />
In town this month...<br />
Linda Felcey<br />
No matter how long you look at the Sussex landscape, it never<br />
gets old. Painter Nick Bush is increasingly preoccupied with<br />
the intriguing juxtapositions created where the billowing<br />
edges of the South Downs National Park meet the industrial<br />
port of Newhaven. See his recent work in New Paintings<br />
of Newhaven at The Regency Town House from 17th –<br />
22nd. (See pg 57 for more.) Between land and sea continues<br />
at Cameron Contemporary Art with a mixed show of<br />
work inspired by the everchanging moods of the landscape.<br />
Exhibiting artists include Luella Martin, Luke Hannam,<br />
Mark Johnston and newcomer to the gallery Linda Felcey, whose oil paintings are inspired by the natural<br />
setting in which she works: a shepherd’s hut in a lea at the foot of Mount Caburn. Until the 27th of August.<br />
Daniel Locke<br />
Visionary Fictions, the summer programme<br />
at ONCA gallery, uses storytelling to<br />
explore a world ‘beyond dystopia’ and invites<br />
participants to create their vision for ‘just<br />
and habitable worlds’. Join them for a free<br />
experimental collaborative writing symposium<br />
and scratch night on the 5th. A theatrical cave<br />
installation made of waste, with workshops and<br />
performances from HOAX theatre, follows<br />
between the 4th and the 15th. Then, from the<br />
17th to the 19th, Rewilding Sussex will take us<br />
travelling Through the Bush Backwards. Explore<br />
geological time in search of megafauna past and<br />
future, as they launch their graphic novel and<br />
game about rewilding the county.<br />
The wildly botanical<br />
creations of<br />
ceramicist Frances<br />
Doherty are on<br />
display at Gallery 40<br />
from the 2nd until<br />
the 8th. Frances<br />
is inspired by the<br />
plants and flowers she sees around her, recreating<br />
them as outsized, ‘insect-eye view’ versions with<br />
gloriously high-gloss glazes. Paintings by Jane<br />
Denman will be shown alongside. Inspired by<br />
contemporary dance, Jane uses water-based paints,<br />
and their drips, splashes, and rivulets of colour, to<br />
capture the fluidity of the movement.<br />
