Inspired artists reveal Derbyshire scenes
17 January 2005
Artists who have been inspired by Derbyshire scenery are returning to the county this month to showcase their work in Buxton Museum and Art Gallery.
Paul Goodrick has been a regular visitor to Kinder Scout over the last ten years and has produced paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures that highlight places and issues associated with the Derbyshire peat and gritstone plateau.
Many of his works have been created on the plateau itself with the wind, rain and snow affecting the mood of his work.
A theme of Paul’s approach to his work is the relationship between the urban and natural environments.
Paul’s collection of art goes on display on Saturday 15 January when he will be at the museum, in Terrace Road, Buxton talking about his work.
Dawn Kent is another artist who has found Derbyshire an inspiration for her work. After forty years away, Dawn has returned to her roots in Buxton and brings her own exhibition, Etchings and Other Work, to the museum where she first came across art and paintings.
Her paintings and etchings are images taken from several viewpoints and create new perspectives through which to experience the hills, stonewalls and trees that are her Derbyshire roots.
Dawn’s work examines the evidence of people and things living despite adverse effects of the environment. The preview of the exhibition is on Saturday 22 January at 2pm.
Dawn will be at the museum to talk to visitors on Thursday 27 January between 10am and noon and on Saturday 12 February between 11am and 1pm.
Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for community services Councillor Bob Janes said: “I am pleased to welcome both of these talented artists back to the county to show off their work in our museum and art gallery.
“It is always interesting to see the work of artists inspired by Derbyshire’s surroundings and view the scenery from new perspectives.
“I am sure the collections will be of interest to Derbyshire residents, people who enjoy the county’s countryside and budding artists themselves.”
Buxton Museum and Art Gallery is open to the public free of charge as part of Derbyshire County Council’s commitment to providing access to arts and culture.
