PATTERNS AT THE LANDER GALLERY
The Lander Gallery has been redecorated throughout- the colour is appropriately called CORNISH CLAY. All is freshness and light; Lander Classics has exchanged sides with Lander Today and there is a refreshing newness in the air.
PATTERNS IN NATURE is the theme on the modern side. Caroline Atkinson concntrates on the lines of the shadows cast by the grass at Lelant in the image shown here.
Richard Lannowe Hall, Gordon Hunt, Celia Jayne and John Laver have also turned their attention to patterns in rocks, sand, trees and the world in general. Kevin Cooper’s framed prints arrange pictures into patterns.
The art of weaving is based on pattern and the Lander welcomes the imaginative woven pieces by Debbie Rudolph. Her scarves, bags and purses combine modern style with traditional patterns.
Silk also lends itself to patterns and we have exquisitely decorated scarves and wraps by Claire Armitage.
The jewellery and ceramics have all moved too- Lynda Styles shows some colourful wall hanging plaques.
On the CLASSICS side there are the impressive portraits of the first and second Thomas Carlyon of Tregrehan at St Austell. These historically important portraits have been brought back to Cornwall by the Lander Gallery, having stayed in the Carlyon family but out of the county for many years. Our own research has discovered that the earlier of the two portraits dates from about 1680 and is by John Riley- who painted Charles ll and James ll and was Court Painter to William and Mary. This is an exceptionally fine portrait in impressive condition. Here is a rare chance to acquire two significant paintings from Cornish history.
You will be very welcome if you call at the Lander.
