Nicolette Carter - "Swan Upping"

Combining Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic Art influences with a 21st century point of view, Nicolette Carter’s works express a strong female perspective. Juxtaposing ideas within the Time's Up movement and the myth of Leda and the Swan, Nicolette’s works are both delicate and powerful. These paintings are inspired by; mythology, strong women and the swans on the River Thames in Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Nicolette Carter’s works begin with observational sketches and 'action painting'. Her painting processes employ combinations of poured and splashed paint with fine detail worked in utilising glazes and opaque paints. MEET THE ARTIST: Nicolette will be at the gallery to meet with visitors and talk about her work on Sunday 10th February from 12noon to 5pm. At 3.30 - 4.00pm she will deliver an Artists Talk entitled "Times Up?" Exploring the representation of women and girls in historical and modern painting. 

Exhibition runs until Sunday 10th February
