Porcelain Complexion - a new exhibition from Devon Guild and Plymouth Museum on show at Bovey Tracey's craft gallery from 4 October to 17 November.
The exhibition tells the story of porcelain’s journey from China to Devon. It combines historical artefacts specially loaned from Plymouth Museum with the work of several contemporary makers. Amongst the antique tea-ware sits Carl – part of a group of hand-dipped porcelain dogs by Helen Felcey. For her, porcelain embodies both sharpness and softness and gives the familiar an other-worldly quality.
Featuring work from Martin Bentham RWA, Christopher Garratt and Robert Organ, this interesting exhibition runs until 6 October in the Art Room, Topsham near Exeter.
Martin Bentham was born in Hampshire in 1961. He studied at Weston¬super¬mare and Exeter College of Art & Design. He lives in the Mendips. Bentham has been exhibiting professionally since 1985; the Royal Academy, London; the Mall Gallery, London and The Royal West of England Academy, Bristol. He has won a number of awards; the Daler Rowney Oil Painting Prize; first prize at the Royal Bath & West Art Exhibition...
