Exploring Erosion on Norfolk's East Coast
At the Cliff Edge – Paintings by Elizabeth Inger. Chequer House Gallery has an exciting guest exhibitor this month. Popular local abstract artist Elizabeth Inger.
''At the Cliff Edge is my collection of paintings exploring erosion of the cliffs and landslides at Happisburgh and Overstrand. I was inspired by the distressed and layered images and abstract quality of the cliffs. I found myself captivated by the fragile beauty of the landscape and the wonderful shapes, textures and colours of the eroding cliffs. And I simultaneously observed the brutal reality of villagers losing their homes and personal treasures to coastal erosion.
These paintings are my tribute to all those working to protect and support the people in these coastal villages.''
At the Cliff Edge will be showing from Saturday 23rd August to Sunday 7th September. Also on show are 50 local artists exhibiting, paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, ceramics and gifts.
Chequer House Gallery 10-12 King Street, Kings Lynn, PE30 5PA. Open: Wednesday – Sunday, 11am-5pm. Entry is free, with well behaved dogs and children welcome.
