Photography - James Ravilious. RWA Bristol

More advantages to Bristol being European Green Capital include exhibitions at the RWA linked into the natural landscape in the local area: James Ravilious- Rural Life photography.

The photographs were all taken of rural life and landscapes in North Devon during the 1970s and 1980s, and on first view you'd think you were in the 1940s or 1950s, as they were taken on the brink of industrialised farming in the area. They are warm and beautifully composed.

RWA Bristol - Kate MccGwire

Natural materials, art and beauty, all here at the RWA exhibition in Bristol until September 10th.

Since studying Biology A level in the 80s and being fixated on the drawings in the Roberts text books, I'm always in awe of nature and forms. In this exhibition Kate MccGwire uses collected and preserved feathers to create beautiful sculptures. See for yourself...

A riot & a pop of colour is what to expect at this exhibition. If you can't make it, here's how I saw it:

EXPECT YARN-BOMBING. POM-POMS AND 

LANTERNS BEFORE YOU GET INTO THE EXHIBITION!

LET THE COLOUR FEST BEGIN

HORTICULTURE HEAVEN!
