ANGELA SUMMERFIELD - Solo Exhibition
‘TREE LIVES: A CELEBRATION OF OUR GREEN CANOPIES’
Solo exhibition of 19 oil paintings, prints and drawings by the Gloucestershire-based artist, Dr Angela Summerfield.
The arboreta and woodlands of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire are the source of inspiration for many of the works in the exhibition. Angela also draws on her own parkland-style garden of 65+ trees, which are part of a late 19th-century arboretum.
Dr Angela Summerfield is a well-known authority on both art and trees. In 2019 she was invited to speak on behalf of The Woodland Trust, as part of The Times and Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Angela trained as a Fine Art oil painter and printmaker at the University of Leeds, followed by an MA in Art History from the Courtauld Institute and a PhD in Art History and Curatorship from City University, London. Angela is also a member of The Tate British Art Network: Landscape Subgroup. Alongside her arts practice, she has worked as a senior curator at The Royal Academy of Art, London, and as an art critic for The Spectator magazine.
Angela’s work is the outcome of many years of research into art history, art materials, and colour and light theories applied to painting. She is actively engaged in developing original contemporary categories for landscape painting, which explore experiences of the rural and natural environments
