Mary Webb: Journeys in Colour

27th Sep 2011 - 26th Feb 2012

Now on display in the Lower Gallery until 26 February 2012

Discover the work of Mary Webb, an artist with a passion for colour and the landscape. Journeys in Colour features Webb�s art from 1967 to the present day and is the largest ever exhibition of work by this Suffolk-based artist.

On display you will find striking abstract paintings, screen prints, drawings and collages. You will also be able to see a new series of work, inspired by a trip to Utah, USA, which has never been seen before. Also included in the exhibition will be a work by Mary Webb from the UEA Collection of Abstract and Constructivist Art, Architecture and Design, which is permanently housed at the Centre. Webb acknowledges the artist Sonia Delaunay as a significant influence and whose work is also part of the UEA Collection.

Mary Webb is captivated by the landscape and much of her work reflects on her travels. She titles her paintings after the places that inspired them, which include Corsica, Crete, Isle of Manhattan, Russia, San Luis, and San Filippo. Other works relate to places in the region including Dunwich in Suffolk and Brancaster in Norfolk.

Mary Webb studied fine art at the University of Newcastle and Chelsea School of Art before teaching at Harrogate for two years. From 1966 until 1990, Webb taught painting at Norwich School of Art (now known as Norwich University College of the Arts).

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated book, available from the Sainsbury Centre Gallery Shop.
