Overview

Malt Room Gallery  - Decoy Ahoy!                                                                                                                          

In this exhibition Bob Billington and John Plowman, who each have their own take on Modernism, extend the role of the decoy beyond mere camouflage - morphing instead into a conversation between their works where the juxtaposition of Modernist techniques creates a dynamic tension challenging preconceived notions allowing the decoys to lead you into new realms of understanding.

Suffolk based artist Elaine Nason is a genre painter and printmaker whose focus is on pattern, space and ‘looking through’.  Elaine was at Colchester Art School 1955-59, and encountered as tutors John Nash, Alistair Grant, and Derrick Greaves. An admirer of the early work of Stanley Spencer, the exhibition reflects her interest in the domestic and commonplace.
