Simple Truths
Saturday, 19th February 2022 until Saturday, 4th June 2022
Simple Truths is part of Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange’s New Voices Programme, which gives a platform to members of the community not often heard, through the curation of works selected from the Arts Council Collection.
The artworks for Simple Truths have been chosen by dads from the WILD Young Parents Project, who the gallery has been working with since March 2021, from their allotment in Pengegon, Camborne.
With each visit to the allotment the dads were asked to select an artwork from the Arts Council Collection catalogues, which were kept in the allotment shed. Marking their choices with a Post-it note and a line about why they’d chosen it, an interesting collection of works has steadily formed. Choices reflect how the dads were feeling in that moment or spoke of a past experience or of future ambitions. Over a brew from a ghillie kettle, conversation flowed, exploring their choices and often providing the starting point for personal reflections around mental health or what was happening in their lives in that moment.
Simple Truths includes paintings, photographs, and sculptures by:
David Batchelor / Maeve Brennan / Shezad Dawood / Seamus Nicolson / Richard Patterson / Liv Preston / Bob Robinson / Caroline Walker / Bedwyr Williams
An Arts Council Collection National Partners Programme Exhibition, curated by dads from the WILD Young Parents Project.
Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange is an Arts Council Collection National Partner. The Arts Council Collection is managed by Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England.
Please note: dogs are not permitted in the gallery spaces during this exhibition but they are welcome in the shop and cafe areas.

Captured Beauty
Saturday, 19th February 2022 until Saturday, 18th June 2022
An Arts Council Collection National Partners Programme Exhibition, curated by Abi Hutchinson, Artistic Director of Black Voices Cornwall.
Captured Beauty features contemporary works of art drawn from the Arts Council Collection, with paintings by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Ryan Mosely, Mowbray Odonkor, and Caroline Walker. Vanley Burke, Tarik Chawdry, and Colin Jones present photographic portraits of Britain in the 70s and 80s, alongside other artists using photography including Sunil Gupta, Ifeoma Onyefulu, Horace Ove, Tetsuya Noda, and Veronica Ryan.
Black Voices Cornwall is an organisation that exists to enable Cornwall to become an actively anti-racist county. The ambition for Captured Beauty is for ethnically diverse visitors to feel seen through the works in this exhibition. It is also an opportunity for the white community to have an insight to how it feels to be a person of colour in the 21st century, and to come away from the exhibition with a determination to finally end racism.
Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange is an Arts Council Collection National Partner. The Arts Council Collection is managed by Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England.
Please note: dogs are not permitted in the gallery spaces during this exhibition but they are welcome in the shop and cafe areas.

Left Hand Shuffle by Bruce Ingram
Saturday, 9th April 2022 until Saturday, 18th June 2022
The title of the exhibition acknowledges the element of chance and spontaneity that Bruce Ingram embraces whilst working on multiple collages and assembled artworks in his studio. During the creative process initial drawings and works on paper are re- evaluated, providing a new resource for collage and construction. Through cutting with scissors and painting on paper, forms evolve through the attachment of individual paper shapes, providing a layered surface to explore composition and form.
The same process of re-purposing also takes place within assembled and painted constructions, these works are an amalgamation of found materials such as wood, cardboard and painting stretchers. An eclectic mix of references add a purpose of place, history and narrative to his work.
Originally from Falmouth, Bruce now lives and works in Hastings. He graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2008. His work has been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize; he has also been a finalist in the Dazed / Converse Emerging Artist Award. Recent exhibitions include Duets Bell House Dulwich Village, London (2018) Broken Pictures No Format Gallery, London (2018).

The realist landscape painting course
Monday, 16th May 2022 until Thursday, 19th May 2022
A four day realist landscape painting course, where Jon Doran will teach students key principles to engage with when working in the landscape with oil paint. Realism has a rich history of landscape painting, from Constable to Corot, Sargent to Sorolla and numerous painters pushing it to new and exciting levels today. It’s the movement of painting that seeks to master the use of oil paint and employ it to capture not only landscape as it is seen, but in all it’s beauty too. In the pursuit of this goal, Jon and the students will study the techniques of numerous artists of the past and present and then venture out in the landscape themselves. They will focus on key painting principles such as finding a suitable and balanced compositional arrangement, capturing light and shadow relationships, tone, explore the use of a limited palette and experiment with a range of application techniques. Helpful tools such as the black mirror and the sight size method will be introduced in aiding the process of painting from life.
Cornwall lends itself to landscape painting given the wide range of atmospheric subject matter, from the rugged north coast cliffs, to quiet, secluded coves. Jon and the students will visit different locations each day and explore different approaches for tackling different subjects.
If you enjoy working in the fresh air and desire to paint the beautiful Cornish landscape as you see it, this course is for you.
9.50 for a 10am start. Ends at 4pm every day.

Needle Felt Landscape Workshop
Tuesday, 24th May 2022
Come and spend a lovely afternoon with Araminta Greaves Fibreista learning how to create a beautiful needle felt landscape.
Araminta will guide you through the process of selecting and laying out fibres, hand blending fibre colours and choosing fibres from different sheep breeds for textural effects. You will then learn how to use the felting needle safely to felt your fibres securely into place and create your landscape.
Araminta will bring a vast array of fibres of different colours for you to use. She will also talk about the different types of fibres and what they are useful for in 2D needle felting. There will also be a selection of beads etc if you would like to embellish your picture.
All materials for the workshop will be provided and there will be an opportunity to buy additional fibre to take home and practice your new skills with.
Just bring some inspiration and pictures for reference if you have any (there will be some available on the day too), a basic sewing kit and any beads or interesting bits and pieces you might want to embellish your work with.
Suitable for all abilities though not for children under 12, this is the perfect workshop for anyone looking to try their hand at something different.

Abstract landscape
Friday, 27th May 2022 until Monday, 30th May 2022
This lively new four day course is taught by artist Anita Reynolds. The aim of the course is to move away from a representational way of interpreting the landscape towards a looser approach. The course is divided between working outside in the stunning coastal and moorland landscape of Cornwall to gather information, and developing sketches and ideas back in the studio.
Abstract works still need to follow basic principles of composition, colour, tone and form; Anita will show you how to manipulate and play-up these aesthetics to achieve the level of abstraction you are looking for in your artwork.
During the course you will use a wide range of materials, tools and surfaces and you will be encouraged to work in a wide variety of sizes from small intimate studies to large scale dynamic paintings.
Anita is the most generous of artists and a joy to be around and her courses combine a sharing of her deep knowledge of painting the landscape with a love of fun and an energised approach to painting.
A reasonable level of fitness is required for this course as there will be some coastal path walking and walking over uneven surfaces to get to a few of the venues.
9.50 for a 10am start. Ends at 4pm every day.

Thursday, 9th June 2022 until Saturday, 11th June 2022
There’s something for every member of the family at the Royal Cornwall Show.
Crafts attract tremendous interest at the Royal Cornwall Show. The display by members of the Rural Crafts Association is nothing less than stunning in its variety and quality.
It’s the county’s biggest annual event and is brim-full of exhibits and activities which offer so much in the way of entertainment, competition, information, shopping and all that’s best in food and farming.
It's a time and place to meet old friends, conduct business, enjoy Cornwall in all its glory and to welcome thousands of visitors from outside our county.
More than two centuries later our aim is to keep raising the standard. It's good for agriculture, good for tourism, good for the economy, the environment and good for the soul!
This is a top agricultural show which attracts increasing numbers of animals, entered into the hundreds of classes which are refined each year. And year on year people travel from further and further afield in the hope of coming away with an award.
Dog and goat sections; rare breed classes. A top flower show and thriving countryside area. Rabbits, cage birds, pigeons - even bees get noticed here!
We support and promote Cornish-grown and Cornish-produced food both in the trade section and in our own cafes and restaurants.

Exploring colour course
Monday, 20th June 2022 until Tuesday, 21st June 2022
Luke Frost is well known for his exciting use of colour and comes from a line of celebrated colourists including his grandfather Sir Terry Frost and his father Anthony. This exciting course explores how to capture, mix and combine found colours with paint.
The course starts with a session down at Newlyn Harbour where Luke will help students to explore the process of making studies from the colours and forms found among the surrounding fishing boats, empty crates, nets, sea and harbour walls. Returning to the school the group will be given a series of exercises to help them approach colour contrasting and combining. Each student will tackle this differently some focusing closely on the colours and forms recorded down in the harbour while others may choose to work in a more abstract way.
Luke will discuss his approach to painting with some examples of his work to hand and with lots of art books and exhibition catalogues on modern and contemporary artists he will help students to understand how a number of well known artists have explored colour in their work such as John Hoyland and Patrick Heron among others.
Much of the course will be hands on with a huge array of mixed pots of paints shared between the group so they can dart back and forth between the colours and their work all the time being encouraged to explore how colours are informed by those around them.
The course also includes experimenting with coloured paint applied to different surfaces from paper and board through to aluminium and their impact on painted colour.
All materials are included in the price of this course.
9.50 for a 10am start. Ends at 4pm every day.

Monoprinting landscape
Thursday, 4th August 2022 until Sunday, 7th August 2022
On this course you will explore some of the wildest and ancient parts of West Cornwall, and be shown by artist Kate Walters how to absorb the visual poetry of place and respond with drawings and notes. You will develop these studies and observations into monotypes back in the studio at Newlyn School of Art with Kate, learning how to get the best from various monotype techniques. You will be shown images of work by a range of landscape artists who like to respond to wild places and landscape poetry created by indigenous peoples.
9.50 for a 10am start. Ends at 4pm every day.
This course will help partcipants to exploit the versatile and experimental possibilities of monotype using positive and negative processes (adding and subtracting) and working with line and/or areas of colour/tone. Most fundamentally you'll have one or more smooth surfaces such as sealed card or pvc on which you either paint an image - then pressing a piece of paper onto it, make a one-off print (which can be worked into afterwards) or, you'll ink up a sealed flat surface with ink using a roller, then drop a piece of paper onto it, before drawing using linear marks to create another one-off image. You will be able to combine techniques and work across all the ways of working with monotype. It is portable and we will take small pieces of sealed card with us into the landscape on our walks...
This course focusses on the exciting possibilities of monoprinting without a press to enable students to continue with what they have learnt after the course.
Kate finds great inspiration for her work in wild places where the human psyche has not imposed itself too much. She loves to visit the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland to walk, write, and draw. Her recent book 'Iona Notebooks' has sold out and a new edition, 'Shetland Notebooks', is in preparation.
This course involves a considerable amount of walking, with natural breaks to respond creatively to the beauty of the landscape through drawing and writing and as such requires a reasonable level of fitness. Bring walking boots and for those who prefer to use them you may bring walking poles and a small back pack to carry a few materials and a sketchbook provided by the art school. All art/studio materials will be provided.

You will be able to combine techniques and work across all the ways of working with monotype. It is portable and we will take small pieces of sealed card with us into the landscape on our walks...
This course focusses on the exciting possibilities of monoprinting without a press to enable students to continue with what they have learnt after the course.
Kate finds great inspiration for her work in wild places where the human psyche has not imposed itself too much. She loves to visit the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland to walk, write, and draw. Her recent book 'Iona Notebooks' has sold out and a new edition, 'Shetland Notebooks', is in preparation.
This course involves a considerable amount of walking, with natural breaks to respond creatively to the beauty of the landscape through drawing and writing and as such requires a reasonable level of fitness. Bring walking boots and for those who prefer to use them you may bring walking poles and a small back pack to carry a few materials and a sketchbook provided by the art school. All art/studio materials will be provided.
