Artist Statement
Eve Lumai Bridges creates sparing line work of local landscapes alongside mixed media illustrations. Eve is currently studying for an MA in Illustration at the Manchester School of Art and has exhibited in the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in 2017 and 2018.
Simon Bridges captures photographic images of landscapes in broad vista and textural detail. Simon has little interest in photographic technology and focuses more on composition and mood.
Both have permanent exhibits at Elephantstones Gallery in Hayfield. The gallery is also home to original works by Harry Ousey (1915-1985), whose body of work is considered significant in forging a new direction for post-war British absract art.
The artists present their work as ready to hang framed prints alongside local or ethically sourced gifts and Scandinavian collectables.
