Ground Coffee, a popular cafe opposite Hove Town Hall, is showcasing paintings by Russell Honeyman from 15 August to 3 October 2014.
“Painting in the open air led me to the connection of mind and body with environment. The figure in water is interesting because sensation can be shown in a visual way – the dappling of light and colour on skin, splashes and sparkles, the texture and gesture of the paint, all combine to remind us of physical sensations. We share memories through the painting, of how it feels to be in that body, in that moment. I hope to reflect these subtle feelings, so the viewer becomes more than an observer, I hope he or she can enter into the process of the painting.” – says the artist.
If you are in the area, don’t miss the opportunity to see these sensitive and full of life, seas and swimmers themed paintings!
