Had a bit of a painting frenzy yesterday, starting several new paintings at once (as I am want to do…)

It was a nice contrast to sitting in the gallery over the weekend contemplating my paintings and chatting with all the lovely visitors to my exhibition.

Headphones on; paintbrush in hand; stepping back from the canvas every so often for a quick groove-around-the-studio when the music carries me off…..

New Exhibition by Roo S Waterhouse in Hebden Bridge

Posted by Matt on Monday, June 1, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Local artist Roo Waterhouse has a short exhibition of paintings at the newly opened Unit Three Gallery at Northlight Art Studios in Hebden Bridge. The exhibition will be opening on Friday 5^th June from 6.30-8pm, and will run over the weekend of Saturday 6^th June and Sunday 7^th June, from 11am to 4pm.

Since graduating from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2010, Roo has established herself as a figurative painter with a fascination towards poetic narrative, exhibiting widely across the North of England in solo exhibitions and in London galleries. She was a finalist in the Artist and Illustrator ‘Artist of the Year 2013’ show at The Mall Galleries, London. Her paintings are collected around the country.

This exhibition contains a series of new book paintings (‘Shelf-Portraits’) alongside some old favourites. All the paintings on show are on their way down to three galleries in London: ‘Unwritten Book’ has been accepted for the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery’s ‘Not the Royal Academy’ Show (8th June – 22^nd August); Orso major Gallery in Waterloo will be stocking all Roo’s new ‘Shelf-Portrait’ paintings; and her larger scale ‘domestic’ paintings will be in an exhibition at Gallery98 Tower Bridge Road (12^th June – 5^th July).

Roo’s paintings are little personal poems, celebrating the significance of our treasured possessions. They each resonate with their own story and together form a narrative, an echo of personal and family identity. ‘’By capturing everyday objects and preserving them in paint I seek to pay homage to those things around us which we often may take for granted, and to remind us to stop and appreciate them.’’
