'A Sense of Place' by Nigel Murray

About

Nigel Murray is a London based artist whose work is rooted in a deep love of
drawing, especially from direct observation. This leads to a constant search for evocative shapes, patterns and colours that capture a sense of place or mood.
Nigel spent his formative teenage years in the tiny hamlet of Tollard Royal. He spent many hours walking the landscape "forming an artistic obsession with the distinctive shapes of the hills and valleys, and especially the clumps of trees seemingly adrift in the fields". This exhibition is a celebration of the landscape of the Cranborne Chase in paintings, drawings and prints.

Meet the Artist - if you want to find out more about the inspiration behind this latest collection of work, Nigel will be in the Gallery on 5, 15 and 17 August and 1 September between 11am and 3pm.
