News / “Truly masterful” paintings
NEW paintings by much-admired Shetland artist Joyce Wark are on display at Vaila Fine Art from Saturday 22 November.
This is the third exhibition by Wark at the South Commercial Street gallery.
Wark has produced 19 watercolours of land and seascapes surrounding her home in the south mainland of Shetland for the show.
Gallery owner Dorota Rychlik said: “Joyce’s seascapes are truly masterful – her spilling waves have proper rolling weight to them, with tops dissolving into fine spray.
“Trees are Joyce’s new subject matter. As with her rock formations or pebbly beaches, the particular trees in her paintings have true presence and intensity of purpose.”
All watercolours in this exhibition are for sale from £450 to £550. The framing has been done by Stevie Wark, her in-house framer, to conservation standard. The exhibition continues until Up-Helly-Aa.
Vaila Fine Art is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 11am-5pm.
