Independent art gallery in Harrogate to launch important Bloom Without Borders exhibition
A Harrogate gallery is to celebrate four contemporary women artists in honour of Women’s History Month.
Since it was co-established by Gillian Stewart with her partner, the late Andrew Stewart, in 1997, 108 Fine Art has develop long-running partnerships with artists working in all areas of the visual arts, in particular, talented female artists.
This Saturday, March 7, will see the gallery at 16 Cold Bath Road launch a new exhibition reflective of the breadth of women shaping contemporary art today, artists it has often nourished.
Called Bloom Without Borders, the show brings together works by Karen Thompson, Anna King, Yukako Sakakura and Daisy Collingridge.
Over the past 20 years, this independent Harrogate gallery has shown Anna King’s work at various points of her career since her graduation from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 2005.
This Scottish landscape artist "who seeks out forgotten spaces and derelict buildings” was born in Shetland and now lives in near Kelso.
Hailing from South Shields, ceramic artist Karen Thompson’s work has found a place in various collections including The Crafts Council, The Arts Council, York Art Gallery and Scarborough Museums Trust.
In late March, she will be hosting a two-hour ceramics workshop at 108 Fine Art.
Yukako Sakakura graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2008 and 108 displayed her captivating drawings and videos a year later.
Born in Greater London, Daisy Collingridge's textile work is exhibited widely, including The Knitting & Stitching Show.
Bloom Without Borders: March 7-April 11.
