An Exhibition of Portraits and Life Drawings by

Bamber
Admission Free
Open daily 11am - 7pm
The
Exhibition
soulsbodies is a selling exhibition of new paintings, drawings and prints
by Sally Bamber. It comprises souls – close-up portraits of friends
and family, plus recent portrait commissions; and bodies – recent
life drawings. It is the artist’s first solo show. Most of the
artworks are offered for sale with prices ranging from £350-£500.
The exhibition offers an ideal opportunity to commission new souls from
the artist who is also offering souls vouchers in several denominations
as an unusual Christmas gift – an ideal present for the person
you thought had everything!
The Artist
Sally Bamber is a graduate of the Chelsea School of Art, where she won
a Thames Television travel bursary. This enabled her to tour the US
and Mexico with the Royal Ballet, drawing studies of the noted male
dancer Wayne Eagling. During the past 20 years, Sally has continued
drawing and painting whilst working in the design industry. She was
Associate Director at Bamber Forsythe Design before starting her own
design consultancy. Sally has recently exhibited at the Mall Galleries,
London.
The Work
Sally Bamber describes the approach to her work:
Souls – ‘How we think we appear to others and what we think
we look like to ourselves is often quite different from how others see
us through our behaviour, relationships, actions and appearance. What
happens in an oil painting can be a portrayal of a life, a likeness,
the spirit, a sense of being, a look – a soul.’
Bodies – ‘When looking at a body I see just a line: from hip
to thigh, from breast to tummy, down the back, along the arm on to the
tip of the finger or down the leg to the toe. When looking at a body,
I might make marks on the paper, smoothed where shadows lie, quick on
the lips, thick and heavy on the hair. It’s a good sensation just
to spend some time looking: marks, lines, emotions, moods – bodies.’
Associated Events
– Private Views
The artist is hosting a number of evening private views. Anyone interested
in attending one of these or in discussing possible commissions should
