 We are pleased to reveal the poster for our upcoming exhibition.
Our outreach exhibition of work by Dementia Artist Philip Watmough will be opened by
DJ Spoony on Saturday 19. August around 10:30. DJ Spoony is well know for his charity work, receiving the British Empire Medal this year for his services to charities through music during covid.  The Eagle Gallery is committed to promoting and supporting development of the local community, especially disadvantaged groups, as part of our Community Outreach programme. Therefore, we are delighted to be exhibiting work by Philip Watmough, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s Dementia in 2009 aged 57.
Philip is supported by the Tibbs Dementia Foundation, a registered charity in Bedford which was founded 10 years ago and provides a wide range of activities for people in all stages of Dementia, diagnosed or not, and those who support them. Their focus is on what people can still do and how Tibbs can help them use their skills and experience together. Philip did not have an artistic background but joined a series of art classes run by Tibbs at The Higgins Museum and Gallery here in Bedford. Though Philip’s great ambitions of creating 3D castles and buildings didn’t work out he found his niche creating abstract pictures with oil pastels. Over time these have evolved from circles and lines to more in depth compositions of massed colour. Philip gets a sense of purpose and achievement while doing his art, a unique way of expressing himself as finding the right words becomes more difficult. The proceeds from all of Philip’s work sold at this special exhibition at The Eagle Gallery will be donated to Tibbs as thanks for all the support he has received and for the charity to continue to help others. Please join us for the open day on Saturday 19th August. We will also have work from all gallery members on show during the exhibition.  Greta and Alexandra Andreica, mother and daughter invite you to experience their first collaborative art exhibition, "Interferences." The show is a celebration of their unique perspectives, and the different styles and techniques they employ to create art. Through oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, they explore themes ranging from landscapes and florals to seascapes and contemporary figurative painting.
The exhibition will feature pieces that are both realistic and abstract, incorporating bold colors and expressive brushwork to capture the energy and movement of the subjects, each offering a unique take on the themes of love, freedom, and the struggle for personal expression. The exhibition's title, "Interferences," reflects the idea that these artworks are interconnected, despite their unique styles and individual messages. They are all interwoven through their exploration of human struggles and the pursuit of personal and societal transformation. Through their powerful and emotive imagery, these works invite the viewer to reflect on their own experiences and to consider the challenges and triumphs of the human condition. "Interferences" provides a platform for artists to showcase their unique interpretations of these universal themes and engage with audiences on a deeper level. Meet the artists! Greta will be in the gallery every morning during the show and Alexandra every afternoon.  Italian Landscape Anthony Mackay's one week exhibition is now open for business. - Also open this bank holiday monday.
 We're proud to present the official poster for Alexandra's upcoming exhibition.
