Contemporary Art in Cranbrook and the Weald

Brian Hodgson

Home Merriecroft Forthcoming exhibitions Art @ Home About us Past Exhibitions

Brian Hodgson has recently returned to painting full time after an inspiring period working in Kenya  and was rewarded

with his first London exhibition. He picks simple subjects - an abandoned bench; the handle of a spade resting on a

leaf strewn wall; the cool blue water of a swimming pool, baking terracotta tiles and the intricate shadow of an unseen

table; a curtain billowing from a half open window - to create intriguing pictures. The photographic quality of his

paintings is enhanced by the skillful play of light and shade. The exhibition continues from September 14th to

November 3rd 2007
