Winds of Change by Gillian Robertson – meet the ARTIST afternoon

Wednesday, 26 May 2021 by CHaCAdmin

If you have missed the private view for the ‘Winds of Change’ by Gillian Robertson, this Saturday afternoon will be your second chance to meet the artist! 🙂

Pop in to have a look at some fabulous paintings and meet Gillian, who will be happy to talk you through her exhibition and the inspiration behind her work!

Looking forward to seeing you.

The ‘Winds of Change’ is an art exhibition by Gillian Robertson that is running between 3 August and 1 September at Chester Art Centre.

Following Gillian’s exhibition ‘Wonderful World’ in 2019, Winds of Change is inspired by the growing concern about the effects of climate change. Her paintings reflect on the power and vulnerability of nature in the light of human efforts to dominate and control the natural world.

The exhibition features local landscapes flooded or bathed in ominous light, birds and animals threatened with displacement, and woodlands and remains of the past that remind us of the transience of our lives and the greater power of the forces upon which we depend.

Wonderful World art exhibition by Gillian Robertson

Wednesday, 06 March 2019 by CHaCAdmin

The exhibition is inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the increasing need to preserve it in the face of human activity. Paintings of fauna and flora in contemporary settings contrast with
rocky landscapes that have withstood many millenia of changing climate conditions. Other work references archaeological activity and the respect for nature and the elements held by ancient
cultures.

Most of the paintings have been developed from sketches and watercolours made outdoors on travels locally and in Europe, and worked on in the studio. Originally from the south of England,
Gillian spent several years living on the north coast of Scotland before moving to Chester. (See also www.gillianrobertson.co.uk )

Gillian has exhibited widely throughout the UK including the Royal West of England Academy, Winchester Cathedral, and the Dean Clough Gallery in Halifax and has had a number of solo exhibitions in the south of England and London, including a major exhibition at the Institute of Physics in London,  with an exhibition at Castle Park, Frodsham in March this year.  While living in Scotland she opened a studio and gallery and has clients in Britain and Europe.

She trained at Winchester School of Art, receiving a PhD in Fine Art (Painting) in 2009.  Before focusing on landscape and the natural world she spent several years painting on location with archaeologists, and also taught life drawing and painting to medical students. 

The exhibition will run for 3 weeks until 1 October.
