Chris Dunseath - The Gardens Gallery, Cheltenham

Chris Dunseath, Corrugated Space, 2009 (Laminated Mulberry Paper)

Chris Dunseath: Sculpture and Stars is at The Gardens Gallery, Cheltenham until 28 September 2014.
Chris Dunseath is the winner of the Wilson Award 2014 for his work selected for the Open West 2014. This exhibition brings together an impressive range of work in a variety of media, including paper pulp, stone, wood and very fine pen and ink drawing. Duseath's preoccupation is a visualisation of ideas arising from theoretical physics - in particular, the notion of the multiverse. The results are formally delightful sculptures and intricate drawings.
Dunseath is a graduate of Gloucester College of Art & Design (1968-71) - now the University of Gloucestershire - so it is particularly pleasing to see his work exhibited in the town of his formative years where Fine Art education continues to flourish.

Fourthoughts, an exhibition of work by four Gloucestershire based artists - Lisa Lavery, Nicky Fordyce, Lucy Gresley and Denise Cain - is at The Gardens Gallery, Cheltenham from 22-28 May 2013.

Lisa Lavery,  Lunaria

Lisa Lavery is a photographer who makes camera-less images, using methods that reach back to the invention of the medium. The work on show includes photograms – images made by placing objects directly onto light sensitive material – made from leaves and seeds, objects related to Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and a bicycle!

Nicky Fordyce, Untitled

Nicky Fordyce is a photographer who uses long exposures and creative lighting to make ‘bodyscapes’ – images of the body and face which explore personal and family relationships.

Lucy Gresley, Fall, 2012

Lucy Gresley’s art practice is rooted in drawing, but she experiments with a range of media and techniques to explore the psychology and philosophy of human relations and feelings.
