Event Description
Exhibition open 2 November – 16 December 2024 (closed Sundays)
Chiaroscuro (literally light-dark in Italian) is an exhibition of works on paper by Malvern artist Kim Whitby.
Traditional works on paper such as watercolour, or as in this exhibition in ink, rely on the paper itself being the lightest aspect of the picture. The artist has to leave any light areas as untouched paper and show any brightness by painting in the other tones and all the dark areas. To quote Kim, “In order to show the light I paint the dark.”
The exhibition runs until 16 December 2024 at Malvern Library in the Cafe Gallery during core opening hours. Artwork on display can be purchased through the library.
Kim, who is also a qualified and experienced art teacher, will be offering two free workshops in the library which will be open to the public or any library members. The first workshop is in the Library on 19 November, 2.30pm – 4pm.
