Art Exhibition By Tea & Cake With Art

From Friday the 4th of October until Monday the 28th of October, local artists Louise Southan and Ben Wiseman will present an exhibition at the Much Wenlock Guildhall in Shropshire.

Louise and Ben are two creatives inspired by artistic movements such as impressionism and also paint subjects from real life. They have worked together for the last three years and this is their third exhibition.

Louise said: “We are looking forward to the exhibition and I hope visitors will enjoy our selection of art. We like meeting and chatting to people when they come to view our artwork.”

She added: “I enjoy the immediacy of watercolour, but also enjoy working in acrylic and oil paints. I have been an artist for over twenty-five years; teaching adults, creating and selling my own artwork and taking commissions.’’

Ben said: “Our subjects include abstracts, local landscapes, wildlife and flowers”.

He added: “I love the expression and impasto I can create with oil paint, but I also work in acrylic and mixed media. I am an artist; producing my own work, I take commissions and am also a hospitality manager.’’

The art exhibition and the historic Much Wenlock Guildhall is open free to the public between Friday to Monday 11-4pm, hosting exhibitions in the court room throughout April to the end of October.

Built in 1540 after the dissolution of the priory this stunning 16th century building is itself not to be missed.
