A few weeks ago, the Wimbledon Art Studios opened their doors to the public, inviting art enthusiasts to browse four never-ending floors of seperate studio spaces, each enlivened by the work of individual artists.I was really impressed by a few of them, including Linda Smith's paintings depciting obscure, suited figures, who appeared to stride into the foreground from even hazier backgrounds, and Carol Knight's painting 'Chinese Whisper's', where thick brushstokes depict two young girls sitting next to eachother, their shapes created through a merge of electric blues and hearty reds which bled into eachother.
Gemma Wightman's hand thrown wonky pottery was also extremely charming. Glazed over with turqoise colouring, the mis-shapen cups, plates, and jugs were appealing in their imperfections. Other artists well worth checking out are the colourful paintings of Paul Lemmon, Rupert Dixon and the illustrations by Millie McCallum.
