Crossing paths through art at Warwick gallery

Sue is head of art and design technology at Kings High School for Girls in Warwick while Ursula is an art teacher in Lunebug, Germany.

The pair immediately bonded over their artistic and career similarities, leading to an exchange of artistic ideas.

Their friendship lead to a collaborative project and an exhibition on the theme of Pathways in Lunebug last year and they have now brought a new exhibition on this theme to The Mitchell Gallery in Church Street.

Sue said: “Exchanging artistic ideas with Ursula over the course of the past two years has encouraged me to explore new processes and furthered an interest in combining imagination with direct observation.

“Whether highly detailed or deceptively simple, the focus is on formal elements such as perspective and composition. A subtle change of viewpoint or arrangement of shapes can significantly affect the mood of a work.

“Architectural forms, still life and landscapes are all sources of inspiration. Through my own emotional response to the subject, the aim is to enhance the viewer’s perception of images that might otherwise be taken for granted.”

The exhibition will run until Sunday April 28.
