THE next exhibition at The Gallery at Parndon Mill presents drawings, prints, paintings and objets d’art by Liz Boast who has had a studio here since 1999 and has frequently exhibited her work here. Now she shows a new series of her oil paintings based on life drawings and worked on over time until the actual form is almost lost.

Using layers of oil paint and glazes, the figurative element comes and goes until the work is finally considered finished. Harlequins, always a favourite of Liz, are included in the exhibition. The title VERTU means objets d:art,  items collected from car boot sales, junk shops, and donations, which have been used as subject matter for many of her art works.

This is a very interesting exhibition presenting a serious, unique and personal approach to painting and a bit of fun as well.
