Artists Molly Galpin and Alison Comber are presenting their colourful and quirky work in a joint exhibition Unusual Creatures at Pomona Railway Station Gallery throughout May.
Both artists have a love of colour, playfulness, fun and bringing a smile to those who come to see their 2D and 3D artworks.
Molly’s paintings are often on the reverse of glass vases and bowls in acrylic paint and she sculpts using wire, papier mâché and upcycled materials.
Alison is a self-taught artist who loves to hunt down second-hand items and turn them into imaginative sculptures, creating fantastic robots, birds, insects, colourful earrings and other fantasy pieces. Alison also creates abstract paintings, water marbling on paper.
Alison will be at the gallery demonstrating her water marbling technique on Saturday 29 April and 6 May.
Unusual Creatures is in the gallery’s Banana Shed from 29 April to 24 May.
Meanwhile, the gallery’s Carriage Room will show A Thousand Steps into Colour, a new exhibition of hand painted pure silk by Roxanne Marie.
This exhibition celebrates colour from a broad range of techniques that create hand-painted wearable silks, artworks, drawings and original prints.
Starting with white silk, Roxanne crafts layer after layer into unique artworks of rich form and intriguing effects, to achieve a kaleidoscope of depth, light and brilliance.
A Thousand Steps into Colour is on display from 29 April to 24 May.
Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
