Art from three local artists will be brought together in an exhibition in Stroud for a week between December 1st – 6th, in the Yard Gallery in Stroud and with more than 25 per cent of proceeds going to Longfield Community Hospice.
Held in memory of both Rachel Stevens (a local artist and Alexander Technique practitioner), and Chris Binding (a Bristol based contemporary fine artist), this exhibition will combine a mixture of fine art prints, original artworks, and practical and decorative ceramic pieces. The work of ceramicist, Chris White, (Hookshouse Pottery, Tetbury) will also be on show.
John Brough the organiser was originally moved to organise this exhibition to celebrate the life and works of his late wife, Rachel, who had been busy creating when she became ill with cancer a few years ago.
“Two years ago, Longfield provided wonderful care for my wife Rachel Stevens in the last months of her life here at home. Prior to her illness, Rachel had been building up to an exhibition of her paintings, but this was never possible.
“I would now like to make the exhibition happen but combining it with fundraising for Longfield,” said Mr Brough.
Sadly, whilst organising this exhibition, John’s closest friend Chris Binding (who was already signed up to be part of this exhibition), also suffered a short illness and passed away.
‘Remembering’… refers to both the viewing friends and family of the artists remembering the artists and the memories evoked in the artwork shown and passed on through the works.
