AN OSWESTRY artist is joining with a fellow creative to put on an exhibition in Shrewsbury next month.

Emma Sherry, from Oswestry, will join with Susie Davies, from Craven Arms, for the ‘Ebb & Flow’ abstract art show in Shrewsbury between February 24 and March 24.

A collection of eclectic abstract art will be showcased in Shrewsbury by two Shropshire-based artists at the Gateway Gallery in Chester Street, which Stefan Chabluk, gallery chairman, is delighted about.

He said: "Susie and Emma exhibited in our recent Dazzle exhibition, their abstract artwork was really well received so we are very excited for them to return and show us all some more of their work."

Emma added: “My technique is about creating energy and depth through the use of bold colour, mark-making and collage.

"I often use a brutal colour palette of highly-contrasting colours to create a sense of movement and energy and I enjoy allowing the unexpected to happen which produces intriguing surprises within my work.”

Susie added: “Both Emma and I are delighted to have been invited back to the Gateway Gallery to exhibit more of our abstract artwork.

"Although our artwork looks very different, our approach to art is very similar in that we both paint intuitively using acrylic and mixed-media, and our paintings have a lot of layers and textural detail.”

Emma and Susie’s artwork will add to the vibrant art scene in Shrewsbury that hosts various events throughout the year, such as the very popular Arts Trail which takes place over the summer months throughout the town.

The Gateway Gallery has a 'superb reputation' for showcasing contemporary works and is a fantastic space for artists to promote their art in a central location.

Having recently reopened, it is sure to be a popular destination for artists and art-lovers alike.

A spokesman added: "Emma and Susie look forward to welcoming you to their ‘Ebb & Flow’ exhibition.

"For those interested in attending the private view on Thursday, March 23 where they will get the opportunity to meet the artists, please email emma@thesherrys.co.uk"
