August Bank Holiday weekend sees Binnel Studios opening its doors to the public again for the annual open studios and exhibition, in the former glass studios, Old Park Road, St Lawrence, on the south coast of the Isle of Wight.
This year’s event is a great opportunity to meet the latest artist to join Binnel Studios – painter and printmaker, Sadie Tierney – as well as see new work by the artists; Molly Attrill, Matthew Chambers, Jane Cox, David Firmstone (at his Orchid House studio), Sue Paraskeva, Sadie Tierney, Amanda Wheeler and Celia Wilkinson.
Sadie Tierney has two new woodcuts on the walls of this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. Both are woodcuts printed at Binnel Studios on her dutch printing press.
Tierney works in a tradition of English landscape painter/printmakers, taking sketches of places where form is linked to emotion, and interpreting them through distinctive colour and line.
Recent work include large canvasses of mountains, carousels and ships at night, with lit up windows and multi-coloured skies, reflected in the waters around them. Expect to see hand made original prints and artist proofs alongside larger canvasses at her studio. “I love welcoming visitors to Binnel Studios for this annual event – it’s a peaceful, beautiful place to work and a great community of artists”
Trained at the Royal College of Art, and recently represented at Art Basel Miami and London Art Fair, previous selected solo exhibitions include Flowers East Gallery, Rabley Gallery and Eton College.
Her work is represented in numerous public collections including Imperial Health Charity, The Bronx Museum of the Arts (New York), Gdansk Museum (Poland) and The Royal West of England Academy, along with private collections worldwide.
