Leicester Society of Artists – Meet the Artist

Event Description

Meet and chat to artists from the Leicester Society of Artists

As part of the LSA Annual Exhibition 2021 (7-31 October) members of Leicester Society of Artists will be at the museum every Saturday afternoon in October where you can talk to them about their work and ask questions about the exhibition.

Meet the Artist: Mandeep Dhadialla

"My method of working up a reduction linocut print begins with an initial, loose plan of the colours and number of layers involved," says Mandeep Dhadialla. "The print then evolves naturally as layers are built up from light to dark or taking them down again from dark to light. Some linocut prints incorporate a monotype technique of inking up the blocks as in a painterly approach, blending colours directly on the lino block, resulting as unique prints within an edition. The colour palette is sometimes exaggerated to reflect the glowing equatorial light and its luminosity on plants, enhancing the vibrancy of their colours.”

Mee the Artist: Deborah Bird

"Lockdown trips round the UK are the inspiration for this new series of abstracts," says Deborah Bird. "The two paintings in this exhibitoin are from a series of works which have their origins in Cornwall. The colours and shapes of the landscape inform the composition in watercolour and oil pastel. Copper leaf details are a nod to the historical mining industries in that area. Both designs are available as limited edition silk scarves via my website at www.deborahbirdart.co.uk".

Free event

No tickets are required for your visit. The museum can only allow a certain number of visitors in at a time, which may result in a socially distance queue before gaining entry.
