RUSTIC WOODEN CHAIRS, ANIMALSPORTRAITS AND VARIOUS WARES
This exhibition combines the work of Helena Levett and Derrick Dunthorne. There are two main strands to HL's art practice. Life-like animal portraits and also expressive colourful portrait paintings.
Derrick Dunthorne has been making chairs by 'bodging' (green wood-working) for a number of years now. Not only aesthetically satisfying they are surprisingly comfortable. He teaches this traditional skill to people at his home.
