Wallingford & District Art Club is exhibiting as part of Oxfordshire Art Weeks from 25-26 May, at Centre 70 in central Wallingford. View over 60 works using all painting media, plus limited edition prints and cards, handmade jewellery and scarves, created by over 25 WADAC club members - ranging from commercial artists to skilled amateurs.
With subject matter from abstract to realist, the artworks exhibited include acrylics, inks, oils, watercolours, and mixed media. So, whether you like still-life or landscape, animals or florals, there is plenty here to delight any visitor.
Highlights from just a few of our artists include:
Mark Wood is a well-known Wallingford artist, painting delightful, gentle watercolours of landmark local scenes and atmospheric acrylic landscapes – full of colour and bravado. Mark will be painting live throughout the weekend - a chance to see his technique in action!
Gavin Peacock works in oils, acrylics and virtual reality and typically demonstrates strong composition, depth, tonal contrasts and plays with light. Think atmospheric. He was recently awarded national 'Amateur Artist of the Year' by the SAA.
Carole Kettle uses oils and watercolours, painting evocative landscapes and street scenes. Many of her paintings capture people at play or rest and are delightfully sunny in nature.
Geoff Johnson’s flowers, landscapes and the changing seasons are all portrayed in vivid colour and great depth.
As part of ArtWeeks, we are working with Wallingford Town Council, who are hosting an exhibition in the Town Hall for local artists (including WADAC members), it has created a Trail map that includes over 30 local artists’ studios and events, and is promoting four Art Trail walks around Wallingford, to view key venues. Visit https://wallingfordartclub.org.uk/artweeks-summer-exhibition/ for more details.
Centre 70 is in central Wallingford, just off the Kinecroft, and in easy walking distance of both Waitrose and Goldsmith Lane car parks. The venue is large, light and airy - giving ample scope for unpressured browsing of some delightful art.
Wallingford & District Art Club is a friendly club that has been promoting community art in and around Wallingford since 1979. We hold a range of activities throughout the year, including weekly tutored classes, painting evenings, monthly live artist demonstrations, workshop days, plein aire sketching days and social trips. All are open to club members and non-members (fees apply).
