Revamp of the studio at Paul Guthrie’s house
Paul Guthrie is having an open house to showcase his new collection of work on Saturday 21st September between 10.00am and 4.00pm. Paul’s previous work has been exhibited widely and attracted buyers from all over the world. “My intention is to create vibrant, original art to lighten the space we live in.”
Lindfield Art Festival means different things to different artists and Paul Guthrie has been preparing his home and studio for the open house weekend. Taking doors off, putting in gallery style lights, fitting shutters to windows to block out daylight – not to mention painting artwork! It’s a busy and exciting time.
Paul has been experimenting with different visual states including camouflage, daylight, ultraviolet light and light emitting pigments. It’s really starting to come together and looks incredibly exciting!
Do pop along and experiment for yourself and see which lighting state you like best.
Paul’s open house is at 41 William Allen Lane on 20 Sept Friday 6-9pm AND Saturday & Sunday 10-4pm
More information about Paul’s work can be found on his website here.
