HELEN ELLIOTT IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Each month a different King Street Gallery artist is featured in our Spotlight Room. Throughout October painter Helen Elliott will be showing her work in a stunning new exhibition.
Helen is one of King Street Gallery’s newest members and in her Spotlight Show she will showcase some of her latest landscape paintings.
Helen told us: “The subtle power of minimalist paintings has always spoken to me and challenged me to consider what is the essence of a painting in terms of colour, line and design and how I can bring more of this quiet authority into my own work.
“Using carefully selected limited palettes and strong value-led design my aim with this series was to communicate my inner landscape using my external landscape as the metaphor. I do hope you enjoy them.”

PETER SPRIGGS AND BARRY COOPER ‘DUET’ IN THE CHATE ROOM
Running until October 23rd in the Chate Room, “Duet” brings together the work of Peter Spriggs and Barry Cooper.
Where did the duet begin? When Cooper posted a recent painting on Facebook, Spriggs responded with a previous work of his own - and this marked the beginning of a conversation in paint and digital drawing and painting apps.
The works in "Duet" are recent ones (paintings and digital app drawings) by Cooper and drawings and paintings from Spriggs's archive. The Show demonstrates that creativity can often be sparked by something as simple as a chance encounter.
Spriggs and Cooper first met as students at the Royal College of Art, London in the mid 1980's but this is the first time they have exhibited their work together. Don’t miss this wonderful duet at King Street Gallery!
