DAVID LENDRUM
David Lendrum’s paintings are abstract but derived from nature. He is inspired by the sunsets, clouds or flowers at his home in nearby Ringstead. He often works with diluted acrylic paint, staining it directly into the unprimed canvas, which he then develops with thicker paint as required. He also paints on primed canvases where the paint is applied in thicker layers using brushes, palette knives and scrapers to create strong textures. Intense, vibrant colours are used to maximum expressive effect in order to create a sense of feelings and mood.
HELGA JOERGENS
Helga Joergens develops her abstract pictures spontaneously in the painting process. She begins by drawing lines, marks or colours to indicate a composition, and as soon as an idea evolves, she follows the direction in which it takes her. She brings into play sweeping strokes in order to achieve a sense of movement and repeated lines to create rhythm. She enjoys using strong vibrant colours to create richness which makes the pictures shimmer. Her still lifes were created from observation. She lives in nearby Ringstead.
GROUNDED TABLE
Grounded Table offers unique private dining experiences using the finest local and foraged ingredients cooked over fire in your garden. Chef James Brun draws inspiration from his experience working in England and Japan to create seasonal menus tailored to guests tastes and requirements.
