Skin Deep

An art exhibition featuring the work of the Sussex Road Group - 13 March – 28 August 2010

Worthing boasts a fine stable of living, breathing artists, and the jewel in Worthing’s architectural crown, Worthing Museum and Art Gallery, is the perfect setting to display this collection of art by the Sussex Road Group, exploring interpretations on the theme of Skin Deep.

The Sussex Road Group has been painting and drawing together for 2 years. It was formed by Dudley Sawer, a textile designer based in Worthing. A wide variety of students attend his life drawing courses and workshops held at the Sidney Walter Centre, Worthing. Skin Deep is a collection of nearly seventy paintings, drawings, and mixed media ranging from bold oils to closely observed line drawings. There are limited colour palettes as well as quirky and obscure connections with the theme of skin deep in the display.

This exhibition, which is held in our first floor art gallery, features over twenty artists individually responding to and interpreting this subject. It is a show that not only examines the surface but looks deeply into the human temple. Some artists have never exhibited before and this is a wonderful opportunity for them to share their work with a wider audience.

To coincide with Skin Deep, Dudley Sawer will be running life drawing sessions at the Museum. To find out more information, or to book, please contact Worthing Museum on 01903 221448.

Skin Deep is sponsored by Worthing Restauranteur Andrew Sparsis of Fish Factory and Food fame.
