A NEW exhibition of paintings and prints by Somerset landscape artist David A. Parfitt at Black Swan Arts in Frome reflects on our connections with nature, place and home.
Most of the work in ‘20 Miles’ – a mixture of dramatic, sometimes almost abstract, watercolours and striking monochromatic monoprints – has been created in David’s studio during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Somerset is my home,” says David. “I am from here and I work here. Memories of past and present pervade my work. The places I paint constantly return to me – they are special and are all within 20 miles of my studio in Coleford. This is me.”
‘20 Miles’ will be open from Friday 30th July to Sunday 26th September, Thursday to Sunday, 10am–4pm. For further information and up-to-date information on opening hours, please visit www.blackswanarts.org.uk.
