John Leach Gallery09 January - 24 March 2010
Monday - Saturday 9am-1pm, 2-5pm
'group 7' was established in the 1970’s and two of the very early members, Dennis Hill and Keyna Emerson are still with the group. Since then Bonnie Brown, Peter Symons, Ursula Leach, Brian Bishop and Michael Griffiths have joined.
The group (originally known as the '7 Artists') was formed of painters and printmakers living close to each other geographically on the Hampshire/ Dorset border. In the 1970’s they met regularly for portrait and figure studies, whilst in the summer months worked at outdoor venues. Now, they continue to meet once a month to share news, ideas, and techniques and to talk about each other’s work in their studios.
They enjoy exhibiting together and are building up a considerable reputation within the Wessex region and beyond.
Although they exhibit together and discuss their approach and ideas with one another, 'group 7' do not espouse a common artistic style or philosophy, they have all developed a very individual artistic vision and practice.
