Punkadelics and Anarchy series paintings
by Corrine Streetly.
Coinciding with the ultimate social event in the punk calendar, the Rebellion Festival, during August 2012, paintings by artist Corrine Streetly are on display here at Blackpool’s HMV store.
“As a figurative artist, my work is rooted in the extended tradition of narrative painting. These two series paintings of Punks & Rockabilly’s were directly influenced by the die -hard visitors to the Rebellion Festival, staged annually for the past 15 years in Backpool’s beautiful Victorian deco Winter Gardens complex. The festival has become an intrinsic part of Blackpool’s culture, running for four consecutive days during the month of August. The first series, alternatively titled Rebellion or Anarchy, portray visitors outside the festival in the nearby streets between 2008 to 2010, punks huddled together in groups against the elements or strolling in pairs.
The second series paintings Punkadelics, displayed here, are larger, more detailed ‘finished’ works using the more traditional media of oil on canvas. During each festival I’ve soaked up the colours, sights & sounds in the Winter Gardens complex, watching the crowds of national and international die hard Punk supporters. There is a real energy, an exciting buzz of expectancy in the air at Rebellion, due to many people converging together in one small space, dressed to impress.”

'Coastal Muse' solo exhibition by Susan Godsiff. 9th June 2012
Paul Cézanne said, “ Painting from nature is not copying the object: it is realizing one’s sensations.”

| 'Coastal Muse' Blott gallery shot |
This series of paintings were inspired by many hours absorbing the sensations of the air, wind and nature on coastal walks.
I find that when painting in nature I interpret the reality around me. While painting a scene, I must constantly adjust to changes caused by the variation in light and wind to realize my sensations. While painting, I often have the benefit of hearing and seeing things in nature that often are overlooked such as the movement of clouds, and the way the wind influences the surface of water.
The small drawings are studies of barnacle encrusted shells thrown up after stormy weather. Through close observation they take on new shapes which can be interpreted by the viewer from their own sense of perspective and experience.
