Our Featured Artists
JOINEnjoy a Coffee Break whilst reading some of our VAA Member Interviews
We are so pleased to announce that three of our premium members, contemporary artists’ Alan Yaffe, Susie Hall and Kim Barsky have joined forces hosting their very own “Space Between Thoughts” exhibition. Yaffe, Hall & Barsky are similarly inspired and driven by a love of colour and form. Their paintings are guided by their intuition, imagination, feelings and observations. The ‘space’ referred to in the exhibition’s title are those moments when, during the painting process, decisions are made, perhaps subliminally, before continuing. Those decisions become the ‘thoughts’ which allow progress to continue and which become the next stroke of the brush, the next shape, line or colour.
