Eric Seeley 1951 - 2021
|
Saturday 18th June - Saturday 25th June
Paintings and prints by Eric Seeley, who was a well known and respected Bedfordshire artist, are to be shown at the Eagle Gallery in Bedford, in memory of his life and work.
Eric was born and grew up in Bedfordshire and although he moved away to study art at Kingston Polytechnic and then the Royal Academy Schools, he returned to live and work in Bedfordshire until 2015, when he moved to Somerset.
He was totally committed to his work as an artist and painted almost every day throughout his life, producing work which was exhibited and sold widely, at numerous galleries. His paintings were selected and hung many times at the RA Summer Exhibition. Collectors, locally, nationally and from overseas, purchased his paintings and prints. He also won a number of prestigious awards, prizes and competitions.
Eric painted mostly in oils, although he also used watercolour and liked to experiment with various other media and techniques. As well as being a talented painter he was a very accomplished printmaker, working in dry-point, monotype and lino-print. His subjects included figures, landscape, seascape and still life. Eric had the ability to work in a number of styles, often highly figurative, but also very imaginative, often with an almost dream-like, lyrical, mysterious quality. This exhibition aims to show a representative sample of his work, over a number of years.
As a Founder Member of the Eagle Gallery, Eric lent his enthusiasm, energy and expertise to help create and run the gallery and continued to be a member and exhibit his work there until moving to Somerset in 2015, where he died in 2021

Inside/Outside
|
Wednesday 14th April - Saturday 24th April 2021
Cecilia makes wall sculpture using wire as a drawing medium. Her pieces are mostly figurative taking her images from life drawing, photographs and her own imagination, as well as from shapes and patterns in the natural world. She sometimes backs the 'wire drawings' with pieces of painted and stitched fabrics and incorporates beads, buttons and lace to achieve substance, colour, and texture.
Jill is an abstract painter who begins by playing and experimenting. She works with shapes, colour and rough texture until they reveal surprises. "I let the paintings speak to me whilst working on them until suddenly there comes a point where I take control, but keep the energy and freedom that I experienced at the beginning." In this series of paintings she has abstracted her feelings and impressions from earlier this year. "So much changed in March 2020. I came to cherish freedom outside."

Are We There Yet?
|
Saturday 15th June - Saturday 22nd June
In art as in life, you never know when you have arrived at where you want to be, or if you ever will. Perhaps the journey is more important than the destination.
In this one-week show Eagle Gallery member Annabel Ossel’s reveals her abstract journey so far, with paintings and collages that draw the viewer with their bold colours and shapes. Playful elements are often incorporated into her works. Annabel creates her collages from cut or torn pieces of paper painted with leftover acrylic paint. The collages in turn can inform new paintings.
Annabel has been a member of the Eagle Gallery for seven years. She exhibits in their regular group shows, as well as smaller ones, such as the recent printmaking and abstraction exhibitions and last year’s Open Studios. Annabel completed a Foundation art course in London before becoming a picture researcher for publishers and other media. She later attained a BA Hons in art history

Colourscapes
|
Saturday 20th June - Saturday 27th June (Open Sunday 21st 11am - 4pm)
An exhibition of abstract and semi-abstract paintings and collages
by Sue Melville and Annabel Ossel.
Sue Melville aims to evoke the essence of particular landscape or garden using colour, line and texture in an expressive way. Sue paints mainly in acrylics but also uses watercolours.
By contrast, Annabel Ossel’s acrylic paintings juxtapose blocks of bright colour. The seemingly random shapes, which are often geometric but rarely symmetrical, are inspired by both man-made and natural forms, such as kites, towers, fields and river deltas.
by Sue Melville and Annabel Ossel.
Sue Melville aims to evoke the essence of particular landscape or garden using colour, line and texture in an expressive way. Sue paints mainly in acrylics but also uses watercolours.
By contrast, Annabel Ossel’s acrylic paintings juxtapose blocks of bright colour. The seemingly random shapes, which are often geometric but rarely symmetrical, are inspired by both man-made and natural forms, such as kites, towers, fields and river deltas.
