The Gallery at Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset has revealed an impressive line-up of artists contributing to its autumn exhibitions. ‘Into the Wild’ takes place until Saturday 19th October and ‘Printland’ opens on Saturday 26th October.
‘Into The Wild’ is a brand-new exhibition for Gallery by the Lakes and includes exceptional works from various international and local artists. The exhibition is a celebration of the untamed wild, with this theme captured in a variety of mediums including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper.
Notable artists exhibiting at ‘Into the Wild’ include Andrew Denman and Jonathan Sainsbury.
Andrew Denman is an internationally recognised, award-winning contemporary wildlife artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Denman primarily paints wildlife and animal subjects in a unique, hallmark style combining hyper-realism with stylisation and abstraction. A selection of his dynamic and original acrylic paintings are being shipped to Dorchester from the USA specifically for ‘Into the Wild’.
Renowned wildlife artist Jonathan Sainsbury draws inspiration from the simple beauty of nature. Painting in various styles and media, he uses diverse techniques to sensitively portray his subjects. Often focusing on trees, Jonathan captures their changing colours and cycles through the seasons. Sainsbury has also illustrated several publications, and his work is held in many private and public collections.
Madeleine Bertorelli is the gallery manager at Gallery by The Lakes and brings experience from previous roles at The Saatchi Gallery and Sotheby’s. Madeleine said: “Our exhibitions at The Gallery this autumn bring works from some of the most highly respected artists in the world to Dorchester.
“We curate our exhibitions to celebrate multiple mediums and artistic styles. Gallery by the Lakes is a space to discover and be introduced to exceptional artists from across the globe.”
Later in the month, Gallery by the Lakes’ second bi-annual ‘Printland’ exhibition brings together some of the UK's leading printmakers. Featuring handmade works from more than half a dozen artists, ‘Printland’ will include a wide array of subject matter, including pared-down depictions of Brutalist architecture, busy urban street scenes, and wild seas ebbing and flowing on the south coast.
On selected dates during the ‘Printland’ exhibition, visitors and collectors will have the unique opportunity to meet the exhibiting artists and see their printmaking process live in action.
The Gallery in the Makers Yard at Sculpture by the Lakes is free to enter and is open weekly from Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 5pm.
