"The Seed Planters" (acryic on canvas): another new piece by @easterlyartists member @simonwildeart Simon Wilde.

Simon lived and worked in Cornwall until moving back to East Anglia in 2018. He has exhibited in New York, London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Manchester, Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk.

In his work, layers of paint are built up and scratched back, creating a visual archaeology of colour and form which acts as a gateway to apparition. Mystical figures and magical landscapes emerge from the paint, encouraging a discourse with the viewer.

Simon is taking part in Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On", which is running at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery in Norwich until 19 June.

Anteros is at 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ; opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on for more details, or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition.

"Big Skies with Gulls" (acrylic on oak), by @easterlyartists member @simonturnersart Simon Turner. Simon is taking part in @easterlyartists Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On", which is running at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery in Norwich until 19 June.

He spends much of his time painting on the beaches at Kessingland, Benacre and Covehithe and is inspired by the heaths, woodlands and reedbeds up and down the Sunrise Coast.

SImon uses a range of media including acrylics, watercolours and choice pieces of local hardwoods. This is the first time he has exhibited in Norfolk, where he spent his childhood holidays in Brancaster. Elsewhere, he exhibits at galleries in Suffolk, London, Cambridge and Yorkshire and is also involved with the team running @artforcure “Art for Cure”.

3 DAYS TO GO!

22 Eastern England's brightest artists have come together to celebrate the easing of lock-down restrictions with an inspiring new Covid-safe exhibition of paintings and 3D work across a whole range of mediums, from painting to print-making, digital illustration to dorodango, ceramics to leporello, artistic wood-turning and more.

BUT TIME'S RUNNING OUT – @easterlyartists Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On" is currently on show at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery in Norwich, but has to end on 19 June!

"On Top of the World" (Giclee print): second of tw

"On Top of the World" (Giclee print): second of two works by @easterlyartists member @rosalindbieber2 Rosalind Beber on show in Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition "Moving On" at @anterosarts Anteros Gallery until 19 June.

Following a wrist injury, Rosalind found she could not hold a brush or pencil for two years. Fortunately, she was lent a computer and headset: at first, she found this very unappealing but, in time, she became fascinated. She found the digital marks led to a more playful means of expression and, following on from that, a language suited to abstraction and the jazz themes which she has been exploring in recent years.

She recently made a series on Adam and Eve in mixed media, monoprint and collage, leading to the two pictures in the exhibition.

She comments: "These images are in some way a modern Adam and Eve story. “Singles Party”: all diffidence and hope, then “On Top of the World”: what everyone is searching for – the perfect partner with whom to fly through life."

Anteros is at 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry id free. Search #moving-on for more details, or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition.

Rosalind is also taking part in this year's @suffolkopenstudios Suffolk Open Studios. She'll be opening her Holton studio 11am-4pm on 19-20 June. Contact her at rosalindbieber2@gmail.com for details.

"Thallassic Illumination" (oil on canvas): new work by @easterlyartists member @zawadzki_gallery Paul Zawadzki, who's taking part in Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On", currently running at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery in Norwich until 19 June.

Working under the name "Artbear", Paul mainly paints in oils on canvas or board, and is interested in incorporating natural materials such as sand, earth and “found” detritus in his work, capturing the texture and spirit of the landscape.

There is a love of spontaneity too: he enthusiastically embraces the “happy accident”, making full use of washing out, dripping, blotting and splashing paint while retaining an element of traditional landscape painting in the finished work, sometimes using gold leaf as an accent. He is also a composer of contemporary electronic music, based in his “Sineflesh” recording studio.

The pieces he has chosen for the exhibition reflect his interpretation of the “Moving On” theme with a focus on seascapes, representing the permanence and timelessness of nature. The past can be left behind and we can continue forward positively, leaving negativity as just a memory…

Anteros is at 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition for more details.

"Screenplay 5" (screenprint), by @easterlyartists

"Screenplay 5" (screenprint), by @easterlyartists member @easterlyartists member @#cut_editions Ni Gooding.

For the past two and a half years Ni has been experimenting with a technique using torn and cut paper stencils. Some are are exposed onto a screen coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, for other interventions he uses paper stencils applied directly to an open screen. The act of placing the print in a different position for each “pull” results in images which, although made of the same elements and interventions, are all different and therefore unique.

The flimsy, unstable paper stencils are short-lived – but, because of this instability, they possess a sense of spontaneity and immediacy.

He comments : "It's fast, versatile and exciting, and you can never be sure what you're going to get. It's a dialogue between the print and the maker: each “move” is informed by what preceded it and, in turn, determines what succeeds it. If you can say “l like this image” or “this works for me”, or if it has a presence or power or simply evokes a positive emotional response, then the piece goes some way to being successful."

Ni is taking part in Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On", which is currently running at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery in Norwich until 19 June.

Anteros is at 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition for more details.

"Lady Shrimling Chadacre Organises the Manor Gardens Prior to Opening" (watercolour on paper), by @easterlyartists member @lienbackward Neil Whitehead.

Neil paints and draws mainly landscapes in acrylic and watercolour, as well as portraits in pencil and classic vehicle illustrations in gouache. His paintings have sold in Spain, Portugal, America, Finland and France as well as in the UK. He is also an accomplished photographer and graphic designer.

He comments: “The act of creating is a great escape from the pressures of life – everyone should try it!”

"Out of the Shadows" (pastel on paper), by @easterlyartists member @marilynjackson48 Marilyn Jackson.

Marilyn is an artist/educator and former Head of Creative and Performing Arts, who, after spending 35 years teaching art and design in Outer London comprehensive schools, now pursues her own practice in a studio overlooking the River Waveney and Gillingham Marshes: an ever-changing source of wonder and inspiration.

Her work draws ideas from many sources, which interact and develop through the manipulation and experimentation with materials. Direct visual stimulus from the natural and made world are often starting points, although myths legends and other narrative forms also play an important part in the development of ideas and imagery.

Marilyn is taking part in Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition "Moving On", which is running at #anterisarts The Anteros Gallery in Norwich till 19 June.

"Unbroken Rhythm": a new dorodango by @easterlyart

"Unbroken Rhythm": a new dorodango by @easterlyartists member @suffolk_dorodango Mark Ross.

Mark is a Lowestoft-based artist working with natural materials to create organic 2D and 3D pieces. He works primarily with soils, incorporating locally-sourced wood and found objects collected while walking. Working in an investigative and environmentally conscious way, he combines scientific technique with a traditional Japanese art process: Dorodango.

He comments: "Soils are in a constant state of ageing and reflect tens, hundreds, thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of years of development. Much of our local area (East Anglia) acquired its soil from the transportation action of glaciers physically grinding and carrying rock, and from the distribution of successive flooding events.

"This sense of movement, not easily perceived in a human lifetime, is illustrated in 'Moving On'”.

"Norwich Guldhall" (oil on board): another new piece by @easterlyartists member @malcolmcudmore Malcolm Cudmore, who's taking part in Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition "Moving On" which runs in Norwich till 19 June.

Malcolm works with oil paints and dry drawing materials, and is a Silver Signature member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society and Artist Ambassador for Derwent. He is a Professional Associate of the SAA, and UK product ambassador for Daniel Smith Original Oils and Pan Pastels.

A member of several regional art societies and Chair of the Harleston and Waveney Art Trail, his double DVD “Yes, You Can Draw” has sold widely since it was launched in 2013. He regularly gives demonstrations and leads workshops across the UK, and has published many articles about drawing and other art techniques.

Another image from the by @easterlyartists menber @ajourneycatcher Joan Murray, from the leporello "Sand Miles".

This draws from her visits to North Africa and celebrates the ancient camel caravans which crossed the Sahara Desert. It's part of the four-part series "Spirit of Place" and is on show in Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition, which started this week in Norwich.

What is "leporello"? It's printed material folded into an accordion-pleat style. Also sometimes known as a concertina fold, it's a method of parallel folding with the folds alternating between front and back: hence the alternative name: "concertina book".

"If The Time is Right" (oil on canvas): new work by @easterlyartists member Hilary Barry, who's taking part in @easterlyartists Easterly Artists' Summer exhibition "Moving On" which opens today at the @anterosarts Anteros Gallery in Norwich.

Hilary comments: "All my paintings tend to be about the inner and outer world. My mind has focused on positive memories and, as a consequence, has gained bold, free use of colour, optimism and hope – which has surprised me, as I thought I would be compelled to produce dark images as a reaction to the virus! That said, I did create some very bleak work at the start of this awful pandemic.

"My language is painting. There's something primal about it: the need to make marks is innate. That's why, when you're a child, you scribble. The mark making has become more spontaneous and I am now able to return to a painting and not completely overpaint, but record time with layers of drawing and marks."

Another new piece by @easterlyartists member @harv

Another new piece by @easterlyartists member @harveybradleypottery Harvey Bradley, off this morning to Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition #moving-on "Moving On", which opens tomorrow 8 June in Norwich.

Harvey comments: "Times are changing and the gentle call to environmental arms, so resonate in the hippy 70s, has become an urgent clarion cry: a loud demand requiring action. Each of us must do a little. In this exhibition, I record texts from this cry, indelibly embedded in clay – timeless marks to record an age of challenge – accessible to posterity…

"The theme 'Moving On' accords with my current desire to develop a project of my own “Dad's Garden”, based loosely on my own garden: delving into green issues (very much the subject of our time). My garden “studio” has cloudy windows into this project, in more senses than one."

"Moving On" runs Tue 8-Sat 19 June at @anterosarts The Anteros Art Gallery, 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on for more details, or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition.

"Waveney Pines" and "West Towards the Hide" (limit

"Waveney Pines" and "West Towards the Hide" (limited edition giclee prints on Hanhnemtihle German etching paper): two of the pieces @easterlyartists member @_amy_stock Amy Stock is showing at Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition "Moving On", which opens next week at the Anteros Gallery in Norwich.

Amy is a Lowestoft-based artist working mainly in illustration. Her interests lie in observing the natural world and responding to local landscapes, and she calls on a variety of disciplines to produce her work.

Over the past year, she has moved on from a more tactile way of working to creating digital illustrations. This has been an interesting shift, as it has allowed her to explore new and also very different styles of working alongside each other.

Her two pieces “Waveney Pines” and “West Towards the Hide” highlight these different styles: the former juxtaposes detailed marks with flat colour, while the latter reveals a more expressive way of working, showcasing movement and flow.

Anteros is at 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ and "Moving On" runs Tue 8-Sat 19 June. Opening times are Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition for more details.

"Large D shape with brutalist abstract stairwells

"Large D shape with brutalist abstract stairwells print (blue)": one of several pieces by @easterlyartists member @fionashreeve Fiona Shreeve that will be on display in Easterly Artists' Summer Exhibition "Moving On", which opens in Norwich next week on 8 June.

Brutalist Architecture and Mass Housing provide the imagery from which Fiona creates geometric and architectural sculptural forms.

Modernism, starting with Le Corbusier’s “Unité d’Habitation, was followed by idealistic architects designing modern “streets in the sky” like Park Hill, Sheffield and The Barbican complex. Her work is created from the photos and images of these buildings, which are used to create a narrative combining ceramic forms, surface prints and colour.

Fiona works from her studio in Somerleyton, where she creates her hand-built and slip cast ceramics with print. She has developed her own unique method of under-glaze transfer printing onto her hand-built ceramics, influenced by Josiah Spode's original 18th Century method but with a modern twist.

"Moving On" runs Tue 8-Sat 19 June at The Anteros Art Gallery, 11-15 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich NR3 1LJ. Opening times: Tue-Sat, 9.30am-5pm and entry is free. Search #moving-on or visit www.easterly.org.uk/moving-on-exhibition for more details.
