Rugby Collection 2013
[Posted on 29.12.2012 - by ragm@rugby.gov.uk]New Exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum.
From 23rd March - 15th June 2013
The Rugby Collection holds works by many well-known 20th century and contemporary artists including Eduardo Paolozzi, Stanley Spencer, Barbara Hepworth, Bridget Riley,
A. K. Dolven and L.S. Lowry. Every year a selection of pieces from the collection are exhibited, drawing out different themes within the collection.
This year Rugby Art Gallery and Museum is delighted to be working in partnership with the Crafts Council to bring loans of high quality craft work to Rugby. In total eight pieces of craft work from the Crafts Council Collection will be shown alongside the Rugby Collection, including work by Grayson Perry, Tomoko Azumi, Claire Curneen and Jim Edmiston.
The eight craft pieces were chosen as they resonate in different ways with key pieces in the Rugby Collection and will enhance the display of Rugby's artworks, encouraging new readings of works that are favourites with our visitors.

Screen by Pip Dickens
[Posted on 29.12.2012 - by ragm@rugby.gov.uk]New Exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum
29th June - 31st August 2013
Pip Dickens is a painter concerned with visual perception and concepts of illusion and double meaning. Her approach to painting is determined by the subject matter and often brings together conventional painting techniques with innovative methods to create unusual surfaces, layers and textures. Depth and surface contrasts are particularly important in her work.
Building on previous work that looked at Japanese aesthetics and textile design, Screen is an exhibition featuring selected and new works utilising the conventional format of Japanese screens and also of wallpaper. Some of these paintings are celebratory and luxurious studies of bright, saturated colour and shadow. Other constructions lack adhesion - slipping, unpeeling and melting down to reveal contrasting layers.
Pip Dickens was born in 1962 in Nottinghamshire and lives and works in Yorkshire. She studied her Masters in painting at The Slade School of Fine Art graduating in 2000. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections and also in public collections in the UK. Her book 'Shibusa - Extracting Beauty' co-authored with Professor Monty Adkins examining Japanese aesthetics, art and music, was published in 2012 by University of Huddersfield Press.
Rugby Art Gallery and Museum is open Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5pm / Saturday 10am - 4pm

Beyond surface and material
[Posted on 29.12.2012 - by ragm@rugby.gov.uk]The Meeting point between photography and textiles.
New Exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum
14th September - 9th November 2013
From the earliest experiments with photography, there has been a creative relationship between photography and textiles. But where are we now? In an age dominated by images viewed through a mobile phone or laptop, when the screen has become a normal viewing experience, is there still a place for the sensuous appreciation of the material object?
Beyond Surface and Material is a group exhibition that presents the work of emerging and internationally-renowned visual artists whose distinctive practice has reinvigorated and provided new insights into the long-standing relationship between photography and textiles. Work as diverse as Jess Edwards' concerns with the importance of the makers hand and their engagement with craft, and Patrick Snelling's customised and augmented installations provide a glimpse into the richness and distinctive material concerns in the new tactile languages presented in this group show.
Rugby Art Gallery and Museum is open Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5pm / Saturday 10am - 4pm
Closed Sunday and Monday
