Past Exhibitions – Page 4

The Farley Arts Trust draws inspiration from the artistic legacy created at Farleys House by Roland Penrose and Lee Miller. Many of the most significant Surrealist and Modernist artists, poets and writers of the 20th century, including Paul Eluard, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso and Man Ray spent time with them at their Sussex home.

The Trust aims to extend an understanding and appreciation of this unique artistic legacy of one of the most momentous periods in our recent cultural history through a programme of arts and educational projects. Over nearly 20 years this has included exhibitions, talks, workshops, performances, awards and bursaries designed principally to engage young people and local communities.

These activities are made possible through support from charitable trusts, local societies, governments grants, sponsorship from companies and the expertise and voluntary work of Trustees. In recent years crucial funding has included grants from The Chalk Cliff Trust and The Band Trust.

he Trust is most grateful for the continuing and invaluable support it receives from the staff of Farleys House and Galleries.

Ancient Oak by Rachel Widdows

Oil on canvas 90cm x90cm I am working on a series of paintings of ancient Oak trees. These incredible historical trees can be found in the surrounding hedges and fields. They are all such magnificent trees, with lives that span hundreds of years. It is easy to take these trees for granted, they have always been there, witnessing the comings and goings of local human lives. They can seem immune to time. This painting is of an old oak that is starting to show its age, it has numerous dead branches and is clearly gradually dieing from old age and the ravages of storms. Sadly recent storm damage saw the tree lose a huge bough. It is likely that the tree will fall prey to another storm in the next few years, or be felled as another oak was nearby. I counted the rings, it was over 400 years old.
