Ursula Leach, Homeland: Recent Paintings and Prints at The Art Stable.

Ursula Leach, Homeland: Recent Paintings and Prints at The Art Stable. Opening Saturday 27 February -27 March 2010
Ursula makes paintings and prints responding to the chalk landscape of Cranborne Chase. It is mainly arable landscape where the variety of marks and colours are endlessly fascinating and informative. The work is, to some extent, about current agricultural practises, but firstly is about the formal issues of image making. Colour has become increasingly important to Ursula as an expression of mood and atmosphere. As global warming takes effect there are dramatic and beautiful changes of colour in the fields. Pictorial structure and the edge of the image offer exciting scope to explore the space and scale in a landscape of huge fields.

Ursula Leach’s work can be found in a number of public collections including the Ashmolean Museum, The Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, Dorset County Hospital, Kirklees Museum and The Curwen Archive. Ursula won the Intaglio Printmaking Prize in 2009, The Curwen Print Studio Prize in 2005, a South West Arts Award in 1996 and others. Her work has been reviewed regularly including in the Week Magazine and Galleries Magazine.
