Lina is taking part in an exhibition at The North Wall gallery in Oxford. She lives in Abingdon, and I met her just after the exhibition had opened. Here she is with two Osprays she created in bronze.
The exhibition is put on by the Oxford Sculptors and runs to next Saturday. More of Lina’s work can be seen at her own site LinaGarbe.Com.
The Abingdon Artists autumn exhibition at St. Helen’s Church is on from 11th – 18th September from 10am – 5pm. St Helen’s church can be seen in this painting by Josie Chappelle of East St. Helen Street.
John E sent me a few images of the exhibition.
I chose the two where he had people looking at the art.
During the daylight an artist was seen working on a number of charcoal sketches.
When evening arrived a group of lighting engineers took over. Watched by the museum curator, the architect and project team from Ridge and Partners, the lighting engineers tried out various positions under the County Hall …
Nothing too fancy. Just up lights trying to arrive at the best way of showing the museum exterior and undercroft at night.
All part of the impending closure and redevelopment project.
The museum curator apologised that the museum could not play such a big role in Heritage Day this year but the closure is now so close.
The mural in the underpass – showing people from the past – was repainted a couple of years ago and covered with an anti graffiti covering.
That does not stop graffiti but it does make grafitti a little easier to remove.
A google search shows that this particular graffiti statement “Question Everything” predates most of the rest of the mural.
Euripides (Greek playwright, c. 480-406 BC) said “Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.”
