Exhibition by Trowbridge College Lecturer
Thursday, 11 October, 2007

The current exhibition at Wiltshire Heritage Museum, which opened on Saturday 6 October, is of paintings by Anthony Williams, a lecturer at Wiltshire College, Trowbridge who teaches on the Foundation Art and Design Course.

His paintings, which are contemporary works and all in oil paint are monochrome and are designed to be seen as much from the side as from the front. They are intended to contribute to the architecture of the room or gallery in which they hand and to extend visually both along and across the wall. They come out to meet the view in a different way, depending on scale, form, colour and surface. The experience, it is hoped, should be emotionally moving.

Wiltshire Heritage Museum Curator, Paul Robinson, says ‘Anthony Williams’ paintings transform the art gallery. They link themselves together visually, through their colour and shape and meld into the space. Their effect is that the entire gallery can be seen as a single unified work.’

‘Monochrome Paintings; An Exhibition by Anthony Williams’ is on show in the Museum’s Art Gallery from 6 October to 25 November. Usual Museum admission charges apply (FREE on Sundays).
