The new exhibition offers a new way of seeing the Still – Life. Esther Cawley, Painter, and Lesley Doe, Ceramicist, have collaborated to offer us this concept both within the real state, and captured on the canvass. They have created new works inspired by the ephemerality this genre, rendered in porcelain, alongside a series of painted compositions of Lesley’s new collection of transformed objects.
A mutual admiration of their creative practices led to new works:
“Lesley’s palette has been a source of inspiration, and enabled play in paint with muted complimentary colours, attempting a gentle and harmonious outcome.” Says Esther.
“I am thrilled that Esther took up my offer to use my work as subjects for her painting. I have long admired her paintings and it has been wonderful to collaborate with her for this exhibition, particularly to have the opportunity to see my pieces through her eyes.” Says Lesley.
