GALLERY - Nancy Farmer, 'A Medley of Miscreants'
|

Following a highly successful exhibition in March of this year, local painter Nancy Farmer will be returning to ‘Frameus’ in Wells over the Christmas period, bringing (in pictorial form) her highly individual miscellany of monsters, magic, myth and mayhem. Original artwork, prints, cards and calendars will be available for sale
‘A Medley of Miscreants’ is an exhibition that promises
to dispel any ostentatiously cute cherubs and jolly, overstuffed Santas;
replacing them with a festively decadent blend of colourful characters
drawn both from Nancy’s own imagination; and superstition and
legend at large. Clearly,
such artwork should not be approached without a sense of humour; and
for those who prefer the light-hearted, a flock of fairies is promised.
Even these, though, come with Nancy’s warning that they are ‘produced
in a studio that also handles demons, and whilst every effort has been
made to ensure the purity of these fairies, some small demons may remain’.
‘I also have some nice mermaids; though some of them are not so
nice’, she adds. Certainly Nancy’s paintings seem fitted
for dark evenings by the fire, just so long as one does not have to
venture back out into the inky night. |
