Jill Bray: Earth Lines. A Retrospective
July 15, 2021 @ 10:00 am - July 31, 2021 @ 5:00 pm UTC+0
15 -31 JULY 2021
10.00am – 5.00pm
Printmaker and painter Jill Bray (b. 1936) has over the past four decades created an extensive and unique body of work inspired by her abiding interest in the landscape. Bray studied art first at Bishop Otter College, Chichester and then at Southampton College of Art where she was influenced by the work of Peter Lanyon, Graham Sutherland, and Ivon Hitchens.
Bray exhibited in numerous shows in the UK and overseas, was a member of Printmaker’s Council, and has work is in several public collections. Yet she has remained overlooked compared to some of her contemporaries working in a similar vein. This retrospective exhibition attempts to redress that situation. 50 paintings, prints and collages from 1979 to 2019 will be on display and for sale.
This exhibition is part of the Petworth Festival programme, and is accompanied by a talk on 15 July by Dr. Gill Clarke about the remarkable collection of Modern British art held by Chichester University: “The Bishop Otter Art Collection: The Vision Of Two Remarkable Women”.
