Connections
Work by Hils Tranter at Daisy Laing Gallery
Mon 15 Nov – Sat 4 Dec 2021PV: Sun 21 Nov 3-6pmOPEN: Mon, Tues, Wed 11am-3pmThurs, Fri & Sat 10.30am- 5pmSun by appointment
Daisy Laing Gallery & Vintage Studio, Old Bakehouse Lane, Chapel Street, Penzance, TR18 4AE

Local artist and NSA member Hils Tranter returns to Daisy Laing Gallery for her first solo exhibition, two years since a successful collaborative show ‘PLAY’ with 14 creative friends.  Connections is about feeling grounded, connecting with something outside yourself, yet inside yourself. Seeing connections with past work or life. Gaining understanding and clarity. This exhibition includes drawing, painting, collage and artists books, using mixed media. 

Hils works in her home studio in a quiet rural haven, surrounded by space and skies – which feeds her instagram and her creativity. Making work can be a battle between every day life and commitments. During fertile patches, she is fuelled by curiosity and playfulness. Mindful mark-making and drawing, often linked with themes of music movement rhythms and dancing. Play, experimentation and daydreaming are essential to getting in the zone where magic can happen. Hils says:

“My art reflects my life and all its peaks and troughs. It can seem disparate as it jumps about from different media and subject, yet there are threads and themes that run throughout. There’s usually a feeling or a moment I’m trying to find or capture, though sometimes it feels like clutching at smoke.”

Mark in Time – Exhibition, Jupiter Gallery, Newlyn

An exciting group show by six artists with strong connections to Newlyn – Yolande Armstrong, Dan Pyne, Anita Reynolds, Jo Gorman, Gordon Ellis-Brown and Mike Thorpe.

For many, merely existing in the Age of the Anthropocene creates an acute sensitivity to our actions and interactions with each other and the world around us. This exhibition explores some of the joys and the frictions of co-existence. In a world where we are increasingly understanding to be systems upon systems of inter-dependent networks, everything which happens cannot fail to leave its mark on everything. This exhibition traces some of these marks and asks questions about their significance.

Mark in Time at Jupiter Gallery, Newlyn, Cornwall., 20th to 25th September. Opening event Monday 20th September 6.30-9.00pm

You can read the press release and see examples of work on show here

Winnie Lyn’s new exhibition at Daisy Laing Gallery

“In The Forest” is an exhibition of porcelain sculptures set to open at Daisy Laing Gallery in Penzance. Taiwanese ceramicist Winnie Lyn has created a bespoke collection of carved and altered, reformed and refined porcelain sculptures, finished in mystery forms of shapes in the forest. Winnie Lyn is one of the key advocate and committee member of Penzance Festival of Art. Her practice concerns experience and memories, aiming to translate the truth and pretense of life into the mediums of ceramics, drawing and mixed sculptures. Currently, focusing on inter-generational narrative, around both human and human to environment dialogues. Winnie Lyn channels her concerns into abstract forms, which carry both an emotional charge and a “radiation” of meaning. From 3rd June to 3rd July, “In The Forest” will be exhibited in Daisy Laing Gallery, Penzance. More details please visit www. DaisyLaing.co.uk or WinnieLyn.Art
