Elizabeth Blackadder Exhibition Reveals Hidden Landscapes and Still Lifes

The Exhibition

A new exhibition of Elizabeth Blackadder's work focuses on her wintry Tuscan landscapes and minimalist still life compositions, showcasing a less familiar side of the artist.

Early Landscapes and Still Lifes

The exhibition features early works, including a series of Italian landscapes rendered in gouache and watercolour in the 1950s, and still life oil paintings from the 1960s and 1970s.

The Artistic Style

Blackadder's landscapes are softly rendered in earthy tones, with simplified forms that become almost abstract. Her still life compositions feature personal objects, such as a coffee pot, and showcase her increasing confidence in minimalist styles.

The Impact of the Exhibition

The exhibition offers a new perspective on Blackadder's work, highlighting her versatility and skill as an artist. It also provides an opportunity for viewers to appreciate her lesser-known works.

The Future of the Exhibition

The exhibition, titled 'Quiet Observations, Landscapes and Interiors 1955 to 1975,' runs from June 4 to July 4 at the Jenna Burlingham Gallery in Kingsclere. Admission is free, and the paintings are for sale.
