About The Event
There's something special about the objects we live with every day. A fruit bowl on the counter, a half-eaten meal, a jar left on the windowsill. Place at the Table is an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Freya Stockford and Joel Clements, two artists who have both found their place at the table.
Freya paints in structured, chalky layers of acrylic, using colour and mood to turn ordinary scenes into something that feels almost like a memory, hinting at a story that came before and one that will follow. For this exhibition, she has also immortalised her 3-year-old son's unfinished dinners as large-format drawings.
Joel, working in oil paint, takes a different approach, slowing right down to focus on one object or a small still life grouping - a spilled fruit bowl, a jug, painting with textures and tone to envoke a familial feeling.
Side by side, their work…
