Garner+Read
Suffolk-based artists Garner+Read have been selected from international submissions to exhibit at one of the UK’s major regional Art Fairs.
Hilary Garner and Norma Read will be taking their artworks to Art Fair East in the medieval splendour of St Andrews Hall, Norwich from 1st to 3rd December 2023. Now in its 7th year, it showcases contemporary art from around the UK and overseas, attracting thousands of visitors from around the country.
The artists are thrilled to be accepted again to show work alongside so many talented people. They are looking forward to meeting new art lovers and collectors, and are excited to be exhibiting again at this prestigious art fair following their success last year.
They create mainly still life and landscapes in oils and their work is considered by many to be complementary. Hilary uses bold brushstrokes with thick paint and an enhanced colour palette to produce striking paintings, while Norma uses vibrant colour, expressive brush marks and palette knives to create texture in still life and contemporary landscapes.
They exhibit in a number of galleries in East Anglia and both are members of Suffolk Open Studios.
Commissions are welcome.
