Emma Dunbar @ New Ashgate Gallery, Farnham

A new solo exhibition by Emma Dunbar, who paints in Hampshire and Cornwall. Her attraction to colour and the decorative qualities in everyday objects provide the foundation for her art.
Emma works mainly on board in acrylic, occasionally incorporating collage with gold and silver leaf. Her training as a printmaker is evident both in the use of blocks of flat colour and in the way she scratches through surfaces to reveal pre-laid colours underneath. This exhibition Journeys Afar and Back in the Kitchen, draws inspiration from daily walks and recent trips to Greece, Iceland and Austria.
