I am delighted to announce that I have just put two of my metal sculptures on display at Haddenham Gallery Sculpture Garden. It is fantastic and interesting venue to display art and is well worth a visit. The sculpture garden has a whole range of work on display, by a diverce range of artists. In addition, there is a tea room, gift shop and two other galleries showing work from all round the world.

The private view for the Cambridge Arts Movement self-portrait exhibition at Williams Gallery was great fun and very well received. The range of work from all the different artists is very exciting and many of the visitors were interested in how each artist approached the subject.
And I was very pleased with the very positive feedback I got from fellow artists and visitors. It has given a real drive to do more experimental work.
7 days - Recycled Art
I have started producing a new series of work titled ‘recycled art’. This involves buying discarded art (often for a few quid) from charity shops and then reworking them. I keep some of the original, either by following the original composition or keeping some of the original visible.
I have updated www.ashwinstudio.co.uk with high res images of some of my earlier mixed media work. Both works andare 2d 3d works that include found objects but also oil paint – they are 3 dimensional paintings:
Oil paint and found objects. Materials include; copper plate, oil, paper collage, wood, hessian and metal off cuts.
I’m exhibiting alongside Gail de Cordova, Tess Recordon and Nick Welsh in the 4@5 Abstracts exhibition. I am showing 2 paintings, 2 sculptures and one mixed media.

The work by Nick Welsh is very graphical and based on his recent journey to San Francisco and well worth a look. And the paintings by Gail and Tess are also very beautiful and impressive.
We just had the private view a lot of people turned out and best of all really liked the work.

I created this work from recyled parts and found objects. First, I pressed the objects into clay and glazed areas then fired it. After firing I ‘cemented’ some the objects in place. The frame was purchased from a charity shop.
