FPS member Alex McIntyre Selected for Prestigious Art Fair

By DON'T dis US
















FPS Member Alex McIntyre has been selected from international submissions to exhibit in Art Fair East, one of the major regional art fairs in the UK. Alex is a fellow at Digswell Arts and will be exhibiting as Digswell Artists with Gill Ayre, Ella Carty, and Mandy Wax.

Art Fair East’s co-founder Will Teather said:
 “We are delighted to have Digswell Artists taking part in our 2015 event. We have had a fantastic range of submissions of high quality contemporary art, from across the UK and overseas. Art Fair East aims to showcase the best the art-world has to offer to a wide audience of collectors, art professionals and the general public.”

Digswell Artist, Gill Ayre:
“We are thrilled to have been selected from international submissions for Art Fair East 2015. This is an exciting opportunity to reach new audiences with our work. We plan on displaying artworks themed around the concept of internal and external landscapes, and the relationships between the two."

Digswell Artists are a group of 4 artists with links to Digswell Arts Trust, a studio
provider and incubator for emerging artists in Hertfordshire:

Gill Ayre’s work is an emotional and contemplative response to landscape,
inviting the viewer to stop, to look, to take time. Her processes are equally
meditative, employing the use of loose wet paint with splashes and drips from
which a semblance of landscape emerges.

Alex McIntyre uses experimental drawing to explore processes of seeing,
questioning and mark making. Her current work has evolved through a
practice of running, walking and drawing at moments of inspiration and in
response to perceived beauty.

Mandy Wax’s work is largely influenced by the study of Philosophy and
Psychoanalysis. She is interested in exploring and expressing our innermost
ideas and feelings. This current body of work focuses on the relationship and
transition between states of anxiety, tranquillity, comfort and security.

Ella Carty uses a variety of materials and is concerned with sensation and
expression, often reflecting upon remembered feelings, people or
places. Using an instinctive process, she is interested in the task of
representing emotion and making images out of feelings.


Art Fair East takes place at St Andrews Hall, Norwich, and is open to the public from 5th-7th June 2015. More details of the event can be found at www.artfaireast.com

  Sam Hodge Every Contact Leaves A Trace 1 - 11 June 2023 Private View: Saturday 3 June, 5-8pm 195 Mare Street | London E8 3QE   RSVP Hackney-based painter and printmaker Sam Hodge exhibits recent work in one of the neighbourhood's oldest houses. With a history spanning more than three centuries, a multitude of inhabitants have left their mark on the fabric of the building; made intentionally or incidentally, some obvious and exposed, many concealed. Taking its title from a founding principle of forensic science,  Every Contact Leaves a Trace  documents the artist's encounters with her environment. Parallels to geological or biological investigations are evident in Hodge's approach to the marks left by natural and manufactured events. The connection between human and material realms runs like an undercurrent through her practice. Whether making pigments and inks with earths, plants and human debris, printing from discarded materials or giving new meaning to found objects th

By Phillip Worth (FPS President) The Open Studios movement has been a welcome development in the art world in recent years. Typically based on specific areas, be they counties, cities, districts or whatever, it involves artists inviting members of the public to visit their studios, to meet and talk with them, and to view their output. And it is always an added attraction if they can see artists at work. The area of West Sussex centred on Chichester has a particularly lively tradition, and is rich in creative talent, as the writer discovered on a recent visit. The occasion for this was to renew acquaintance with Max Birne, a former FPS personality, who has recently moved house from Wembley, where he had lived for many years, to Selsey, near Eric Coates’s ‘Sleepy Lagoon’. After the move Max lost no time in building himself a conservatory/studio at the rear of his bungalow and it was here that he entertained visitors during ‘Open Doors 2008’, a mandatory stop on the Chichester ‘Stud
