“Less is More” Eastgate Studio Open Exhibition

Written By Susan Leeson

Less is More: Eastgate Studio Open Exhibition : Saturday 29th October to Saturday 14th January.

Complete our online form to exhibit at our final exhibition of the year.

Dust off your protractors, set squares, rulers and compasses to create geometric analogue prints with a modernist theme. Think “Bauhaus”, the European art movement of the 1920s and 30s featuring a geometric, abstract style, without reference to the material world. With an emphasis on function, prints feature flat planes with overlapping shapes, bold typography, blocks of colour and clean lines. Looking forward to receiving your applications.
