Dancing bird by Ewan John 2010Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, close bosom friend of the abiding sun ... How many of us will remember this from schooldays and shiver a little.
Now is the season for the birds to gather together and for the long flight south to begin. It always seems a sad time to me, 'though I do crane my neck to watch the skeins of geese as they move farther and farther away in the sky. Ewan John, however, has an antidote for all this whimsy. His energetic drawn and screen printed creations swoop and dance across the page with sometimes an elegance, sometimes a poise, which always brings a smile. Large bellied and graceful, their exploits will remove incipient gloom. They will be joined by a collection of artists books, badges and ephemera to please all.
"The nights are fair drawing in" - well, we are not quite there yet, but we hope that our exhibition Autumn light will brighten the hours and cheer the heart!
