BEAMINSTER: Art on sale after 25 years
THE paintings of a renowned Dorset artist are to go sale – for the first time since his death 25 years ago.
Original work from the highly rated artist, Kenneth Butler Evans, have gone on display at Cilla and Camilla @home in Beaminster. None of his work has been available since his death 25 years ago. Kenneth’s work has been exhibited at venues such as the Woodstock Gallery, Royal Society of Watercolour Artists Gallery and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. The paintings were placed in storage by his widow, Ann, who decided to store the work until their children were older and could appreciate it. However she has now decided to start selling some of his work. She said: “Ken felt he was very much a British painter, following in the steps of Turner, Constable, Samuel Palmer and Stanley Spencer. “Although he painted through the 70s and 80s he had no interest in abstract work and just went his own way, using old methods of preparing the grounds and using the paints.” The exhibition is running at Cilla and Camilla @home in Beaminster’s Square throughout August. A selection of paintings have been copied onto greetings cards and are available during and after the exhibition. CommentsThere are no comments yet. Be the first to add one below.
