“The artist is a mysterious entertainer reporting on the observable world. The ordinary event leads to the beauty and understanding of the world.”

Pittville Fine Art Degree Show 2010

The exhibition opens with a Private View on Friday 28th May 6-9pm
and runs until Thursday 3rd June.

Fine Art Painting & Drawing and Fine Art Photography students at the University of Gloucestershire showcase the diversity of their work at The Summerfield Gallery and Pittville Campus in Cheltenham.

The fine art students at Pittville Studios have been discussing and actualising the question ‘is it art?’ for the last 3 years. There have been rows, fights, tears. There have been heated discussions and discoveries about form and content; about skills and concepts, truth and beauty, meaning and reality.

And now, here in this exhibition we have the answers: the fruits of 3 years of study, work and experiment. The work is the pinnacle of the creative achievements of the 32 graduating students presenting a wide and diverse range of thought provoking work through a variety of disciplines from painting and photography to installation and film.

Art, in the end, is energy, joy and imagination; it is both invention and revelation: creating the new and revealing the extraordinary in what is often taken for granted and dismissed as ordinary. It may be the product of hard won skills with the pencil, brush, camera or computer; or it may, indeed, be created out of any objects and materials. Regardless, the work has evolved from a concept-led, rich and potent source for imagining and developing unique ways of conceiving, thinking, and acting in the world today.
