A new exhibition opens next week at The Air Gallery – a collection of new paintings by Rory Nugent of the Hebrides and Devon.
Born in 1971, Rory trained at the Royal College of Art. He works in oil paint on slate, wood and canvas, describing his paintings as ‘enclosed fragments’ representing the elemental beauty of land, sea and sky, capturing the abstract serenity and simplicity of what he sees in Nature. This new work reflects the insularity of the artist in the landscape, each image depicting nature as a wild entity in itself – in his words ‘unhumanised, sublime and untamed’.
He has shown his work in numerous group and solo shows including Cork Street, The Barbican Centre and The Royal Academy. Rory lives and works in Devon.
The exhibition is open each day from 10:00am-6:00pm Monday 19th until Friday 23rd October, and on Saturday 24th October from 11:00am-4:00pm.
Rory’s work can be seen at www.rorynugent.co.uk and contacted at info@rorynugent.co.uk
