With just a fortnight to go before the opening of her third solo exhibition at Great Yarmouth Library, Norfolk artist Jane Hall is busy putting the finishing touches to her new 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' series of artworks. These seaside postcard-size paintings of Great Yarmouth street scenes and mounments - each painted on a tiny 5x7-inch canvas - capture a mix of well-known and obscure local landmarks. Among the more familiar subjects are Britannia Pier, St. Nicholas Church and the Fisherman's Cottages, but less obvious subjects include the launderette on King Street, Best London Kebabs on Nelson Road and the petrol station at Asda.

 

Jane explains: "I am always on the look-out for interesting subjects to paint when I wander round town; and often it's the more obscure subjects that excite me the most. I think it's important to see the artistic merit in run-down buildings, everyday shops like convenience stores and simple things like launderettes. At the right time of night with the light coming from the right angle, these places can look quite spectacular and haunting, which is something I've tried to capture in the night-time scenes I've been working on."

 

Jane's 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' pictures will be shown alongside her familiar ice cream and fruit machines painting at Great Yarmouth Library from 11th - 22 February 2014. The exhibition is open to the public every day except Sunday, with a full list of opening hours available at www.jane-hall.co.uk.

Starting February 11th 2014, the walls of Great Yarmouth Library will be brightened up by the colourful seaside paintings of local artist Jane Hall. Her third SEASIDE SENSATION exhibition at the venue will showcase more of her seaside-inspired paintings of ice creams, amusement arcades and fruit machines, as well as a new series of miniature paintings of Great Yarmouth street scenes and town centre monuments called 'Postcards from Great Yarmouth'. These new works are all painted on 5x7-inch canvas boards - the size of the traditional seaside postcard - and feature a mix of quirky subjects, including local kebab shops, laundrettes and convenience stores. Jane also offers an original take on well-known venues, like St. Nicholas Church and St. George's Theatre, by painting them as miniature skyscapes.

The exhibition's official opening will take between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday, February 12th. All members of the public are welcome to attend the opening night for a glass of wine and an evening of fine art. And for those who cannot make the opening night, the exhibition will run during library hours until Saturday, February 22nd. For more details, visit the artist's website at www.jane-hall.co.uk.
