Ron is a member of the Torquay Guild of Artists and the Devon Art Society. This is his first solo exhibition here at Chelston Gallery.  The exhibition starts a week later than previously advertised. 

Fred has always loved to travel and his paintings are usually of places he has visited.  Now happily settled in Torquay, he has been looking closely at the Torbay area and found the townscapes interesting, the lively working areas fascinating and the backdrop of bold skies, glowing countryside and ever changing seascapes have inspired him to pick up his brush more often. 

Kate Davies paints light-drenched landscapes, and in particular the near-forensic details of stonework and architecture.  The tension between light and shadow just had to be explored – substance being defined by the insubstantial.
