Hautlieu School have a long and proud tradition of challenging young art students to engage with the local community, heritage and our Island’s unique environment too.
This exhibition is testament to the skill and endeavour of talented young painters. They have been inspired by a group visit to Plemont Bay in the northwest corner of our Island, a striking and atmospheric setting perfect for photography, sketching and painting.
The group also experienced a wonderful opportunity in working alongside visiting painter, Tony Parsons, and learning from his approach and style. As well as engaging with the work of two local landscape painters in the form of Nick Romeril and Fred Sands. Recent exhibition visits at The Juro Gallery and Berni Gallery to observe and learn from these experienced artists has been an invaluable and enriching learning experience.
The large acrylic paintings presented here throughout the month of May are the final outcomes of a series of experiments and explorations and capture the vibrancy and excitement of youth mirrored in the dramatic landscapes themselves.
