Charles Kitchen – Into the Light
78 Derngate 78-82 Derngate, NorthamptonClosed Mondays. Light effects from both coastal and inland scenes inspired the works in this exhibition. By working to translate nature’s colours and weather effects onto a two dimensional surface the artist is able to evoke the atmosphere of each scene rather than produce a copied representation of it. Gathered here are paintings from a career spanning thirty-five years.
