PEACH: MOVEMENT 

An IOW Schools OPEN exhibition 
Clayden Gallery / Sat 18 Mar – Sat 8 Apr 

In collaboration with Quay Arts, the PEACH project proudly present a showcase of work by children from Schools on the Isle of Wight exploring the theme of ‘Movement’. 

Schools were supplied with a broad brief asking for their interpretation of ‘Movement’ with suggestions this could be the depiction of physical movement or relating in a broader sense to change or social movement. 

Schools were asked to submit a maximum of 3 works for consideration, with a minimum of 1 work from each participating schools guaranteed for display. 

“The ‘Movement’ Art project allows us to bring PEACH to the wider community, showcasing and celebrating the great work that takes place in Schools and creativity of our Island pupils.  We hope you enjoy your visit!”  Victoria Paris, Lynda Evans and wider PEACH steering group.

46 CATS by Kathryn Fowler (Isle of Wight)

Created over a seven-month period between 2021 – 22, Island artist Kathryn Fowler presents, for the first time, a collection of 46 watercolour cat miniatures.

A self-professed ‘slow’ painter, Kathryn turned from larger works to miniatures and explored a variety of themes before devising this collection of uniformly sized cats, taking inspiration from photographs of her late cat ‘Poppy’ and images sourced from magazines. 

The charming traditional style portraits are imbued with anthropomorphic and contemporary qualities: 

‘With regard to the almost human expressions on quite a few of the cats’ faces some of these were deliberate – while others just seemed to turn out that way.’ / Kathryn Fowler

All works are for sale, priced at £75 each. Purchases can be made via our shop. 

For enquiries please contact boxoffice@quayarts.org

Please note, Kathryn does not take commissions currently.
