Good Sports – paintings by Kate Bower & Trent Chaplin

by  on  in BAPëA Art Gallery, BAPëA News, Slider

Opens 6.30 Saturday 9 May

For these two Bapëa Art School students with a keen interest in portraiture and life drawing, sport has become a way to further explore gesture and character when representing the human form. Both artists believe that sport is also a fascinating way to combine figure painting with the depiction of landscape, narrative and history.

The subjects of this exhibition range from elite athletes to ordinary people ‘having a go’ and the action of competition and training is juxtaposed with moments of reflection.
