Four Artists    Four New Works     Four Days

Four by Four is an exhibition of painting, drawing and sculpture curated for the historic interior of St Margaret’s Church. The show brings together four local artists whose work shares an attentiveness to light, material and place.

Set within the quiet backdrop of the church, the exhibition explores relationships between landscape, structure and observation. From geological pigments to constructed sculptural forms, the works invite viewers to slow down and attend more closely to the spaces and materials around them.

The Artists

Steve Thorpe | Painting & Earth Pigments
Working with hand-ground pigments made from collected stones, these paintings emerge directly from the geology of the landscape. Architectural forms surface gradually from layers of rock dust and colour, carrying traces of both earth and structure.

Hannah Woodman | Contemporary Landscapes
Paintings shaped by changing light, weather and atmosphere, exploring the threshold between abstraction and representation. The work responds to the physical experience of landscape through colour, movement and shifting form.

Lucy Runge | Observational Painting
Still-life paintings grounded in close observation and quiet attention to familiar objects. Through restrained compositions and careful looking, everyday arrangements are given a calm and contemplative presence.

Alistair Lambert | Constructed Sculpture
Constructed sculptural forms responding to architecture through geometry, material and assembly. Drawing together echoes of historical structures and contemporary forms, the work explores balance, presence and the relationship between structure and place.
