Great Yarmouth Paintings
Members of the public are invited to a special late night opening at Great Yarmouth Library this evening, when the Mayor of Great Yarmouth will be officially opening the latest solo art exhibition by artist Jane Hall. Featuring original paintings depicting both the grit and glamour of this popular seaside holiday resort, Seaside Sensation 3 will appeal to all lovers of art, as well as to all Great Yarmouth residents who take an interest in the town in which they live. Many of the paintings take as their subjects popular and instantly recognisable local landmarks, such as Havenbridge House, St. Nicholas Church and St. George's Theatre and seafront arcades including Leisureland and The Mint.
Norfolk Artist Jane Hall
Many of the works in this new exhibition form part of Jane Hall's new series of paintings, Postcards from Great Yarmouth. These new paintings are the same size as traditional seaside postcards; but they don't always depict the kind of obvious image you'd expect to see on a typical 'Wish You Were Here'-style card. A large number of them focus on the back streets and side streets of Great Yarmouth, taking as their subjects such diverse matter as kebab shops, launderettes, convience stores and petrol stations. These unsual choices of subject matter are often depicted late at night, which provides a stark contrast to Jane's bright, vibrant and colourful ice cream and fruit machine paintings also displayed in this fascinating and engaging art exhibition.
The official opening of Seaside Sensation 3 (featuring the 'Postcards from Great Yarmouth' paintings) takes place between 6pm and 8.30pm on Wednesday 12th of February 2014. All members of the public are welcome to attend the opening, and for those who are unable to make it, the exhbition runs daily at Great Yarmouth Library until Saturday the 22nd of Februrary.
