Joe Armstrong Solo Exhibition at Create Art Gallery

This summer, the Create Art Gallery at Bedruthan will play host to a series of Solo Exhibitions by some of our favourite artists.

After working in advertising for a number of years in London, Joe Armstsrong moved to Cornwall in 1986, where he began to develop his distinctive, loose palette knife style.

“I love the texture of pure oil paint on canvas. I use a palette knife to stop my work being too precise. This gives my paintings a vibrant and spontaneous feel.’

Joe paints outside as much as possible, you can usually find him painting around the streets of Truro during the Spring and Summer months, deep in a wooded valley surrounded by bluebells, or just sitting quietly painting on a hillside overlooking the sea.

Joe will also be joining us at the hotel on 23rd and 30th July between 10am and 2.00pm.
