Exhibition based on drawings

A small group show of works whose genesis came from drawing is the May exhibition at Arundel’s Zimmer Stewart Gallery.

Out Of Drawing runs until May 28.

James Stewart, who runs the Gallery, said: “Works on show will include drawings, paintings, etchings, monoprints, animation, illustration, books and ceramics by Tom Hammick and two of his former pupils, Betsy Dadd and Laura Carlin.

“The exhibition will include a series of drawings pinned to the wall by all three artists, some small paintings on gesso by Tom, animation and paintings by Betsy and ceramics and books by Laura.

“It will be an exciting mix of work in a variety of mediums, all of which have their basis in drawing.”

Tom Hammick’s work has been in many solo and group shows including The Hunting Prize, Royal College of Art, London (1997,2002, 2003, 2004); Jerwood Drawing Prize (2000, 2001, 2004); The Royal Academy Summer Show (2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010).

His work is held in various public and private collections worldwide, including The British Museum, London; Yale Centre for British Art, Deutsche Bank; De Beers; ING Barings; Arthur Anderson; British Arts Council and The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

Tom teaches at Brighton University in the Faculty of Arts.

Betsy Dadd exhibited at the Zimmer Stewart Gallery in March 2007, and later that year with Flowers, London. Her works include paintings, monoprints and drawings. Her output also includes animation – or ‘moving drawings’ - one of which was used as a music video. Betsy won the Nagoya University of Art 2008 1st Prize Award as well as the audience voted Peoples’ Prize for her degree show in which she exhibited 8000 Drawings, an animated film piece.
