Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts
06 May All day
About Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts
This exhibition celebrates a long friendship between two artists who have contrasting styles but warmly appreciate each other’s visual language.
Manja Scott was born in Zagreb, Croatia, but lived more than a third of her adult life in Africa – Ethiopia, Zambia, Kenya. She came to live in the UK in 1982. With the exception of various courses in Combined Arts, Printed Textiles, Print Making, she is self-taught. Her most important influences are twentieth-century art, tribal world cultures, and the amazing, ever-changing beauty of nature.
Jeff Clarke trained through the 1950s at the Brighton College of Art and in Italy with a Prix de Rome scholarship in engraving. Later, he etched and painted regularly in Crete alongside the role of draughtsman to the British School of Archaeology until 1996. The regular periods of vibrant sunlight had a profound effect on his work in colour, tone and line.
For this exhibition, both artists show a considered selection of retrospective and recent work. Manja with essentially coloured abstracts; Jeff with observed drawings in black and white, mostly of still life and close environment.
