“The Moments”
The exhibition of Russian/British artist Svetlana Elantseva Southorn
” It is obvious that Svetlana found her voice in the noisy and multi-dimensional world of contemporary art. Today she has impressive number of work that demonstrate not only the originality of her creative thinking , but also an active search for new expressive means. The work of Svetlana is a subjective and , at the same time ,an affective way to touch the space of memory . She shares her thoughts with a wide audience and gives the opportunity to complete the idea , which was started by her , allowing the audience to become the co- author of her art ” A.S. Yepishin ( Ph.D in History of Art, AIS (The association of Art Critics )
Also Svetlana is going to show the art work of my students ( students of Art International School)

SHROPSHIRE BY THE SEA – an exhibition by Rob Corfield
In 2004 Wales was missed off a map used by European Union statisticians on the front cover of their official annual yearbook. The map of Europe showed England and Scotland in the correct position but between the Welsh border and Ireland there is nothing but the Irish Sea.
The event is celebrated by the The Men from Off (a local group of fairly close harmony singers!) with the song ‘Bishops Castle on Sea’ a tale of how the border town may be affected by having a coastline.
This exhibition adds to that mythology by imagining what that coast line might look like. It draws together a collection of paintings influenced by the landscape of the Welsh Borders and the coast lines of West Sussex and East Lothian.
Rob Corfield is a landscape painter working mainly in acrylics on hardboard and canvas. His paintings are large, bold and colourful and inspired by the sea and countryside. Although currently resident on the south coast Rob regularly travels to Shropshire and East Lothian to visit family and paint. The subjects usually reflect his love of mountain biking, sailing and being outdoors.
Paintings by Rob can be seen on his website at www.artybodger.com and he regularly posts work on instagram as artybodger.
