Every gallery owner must surely aspire to hanging something “truly great” in their exhibition space. Something remarkable that will capture the imagination of the viewer. Something memor able; something or iginal and unexpected.... But “greatness” as we all know is a subjective term. So how could one ever be sure that one has achieved this aim?
Well I know for absolute certain that I’ve managed it this time.
Can I hear a sharp intake of breath at the audacity of this claim, given that I’m displaying my own paintings here at Crown Studio Gallery? Has the normally shy and retiring Lynda Taylor suddenly become unbearably smug and self satisfied?
I hope not!
But I do know I’ve hung something truly great, because I’ve just redecor ated my window with this fabulously quirky wallpaper and what is it called? Why it's “Truly Great” by Holden of course. It's printed in seasonably warm bronze and russet colours and covered in a riot of swirling curlicues, crowns, lions, unicor ns, tea sets, cake stands and roses. Everything that’s quintessentially, English!
I like to think that’s a reflection of the art wor ks I hang in the gallery too- a celebration of all that's best about Rothbury, Nor thumberland , England Britain
Of course if YOU think that my wor k’s great too I’d be delighted!
I hope you’ll come and have a look.
