Now in her fifth solo exhibition with the New Ashgate Gallery, Jenny Grevatte returns invigorated and replenished by inspiration and interpretation as a result of a self-imposed two year hiatus from exhibiting.

Trees and ancient woodland have been major sources of inspiration, as well as contemporary painting, through her current residency at the New Walk Museum in Leicester.

Always mindful of her formative academic training with Eric Hall, and possibly considering the creative influence of husband John Wright, Jenny's mixed media approach of collage, glazing and layering oil media match her increasingly interactive creative process.

Altering her palette consciously, Jenny has created works which are not only influenced by her personal sketchbooks and visual memory, but by contemporary artists such as painters Peter Doig and Michael Porter and indeed by art historical influences such as Gustav Klimt and Paul Cezanne.

As she works towards a major exhibition and retrospective in 2010, split between the New Walk Museum and the Richard Attenborough Centre in Leicester, it is certain that this current body of work and its quality of line are assured and confident as the artist bounds towards the zenith of her nearly forty year career.

John Wright makes great use of textural clays, combining them with very individual glazes which are inspired by aspects of nature such as pebbles, volcanic rocks, the sea, lichen and bark. These glazes, in striations and splatters have been inspired by geological formations witnessed on a recent trip to New Zealand. He is based in both Cornwall and Leices-tershire and fi nds endless inspiration in their contrasting landscapes. In Cornwall he is drawn to the intense blue of the Atlantic, the granite, weather beaten standing stones and cairns, the ebb and fl ow of the estuary tides. In Leicester- shire it is the organic textures of ancient oaks and the sunlight and shadows in the woodlands of Charnwood forest that inspire him.

Join us for Jenny Grevatte's Artist's Talk in the gallery on Saturday 10th October at 11am. Please contact the gallery to reserve your place.

Exhibition will be live on the website on Saturday 3rd October. For previews of work contact the gallery
