Cromer Artspace on the Prom

The PROSPECT of a collective staff and student exhibition highlights the broad SCOPE of today’s current and emerging artists whose new works will debut in the coastal SCENE of the Cromer Art Space show.

The Cromer Artspace Auction Exhibition 2023 is here; the auction raises money by auctioning original art that has been generously donated by artists. The auctioned artwork is anonymous, so bidders don’t know whose work they are buying until their final bid is successful.

Anna-Lise will be showing large works on paper and canvas plus a selection of small paintings from her series ‘Plant Forms of the Future’ These paintings combine many layers of imagery including, shadows, Xrays and illustrations in old Botany books.

Maddy Davidson, Freya Buckingham, Max Fear, Louie Ellis, Lydia Stevens, Summer Rivett, Ava Jablonowski, Abi Jackman, Pearl Knapp-Taylor, Tegan Brown, Laura Hall, Poppy Chenery, Courtney Furness.

For her first solo show in Norfolk since moving to the region in 2019, Marion Piper will be showing LUX, a multi-part work on paper incorporating drawing and painting which has been made especially for the art space on the promenade in Cromer.

We see more images of ourselves, our friends and family than ever before, and social media is full of filtered and curated images that show our fascination with presenting the best version of ourselves is as strong as it ever has been.

In Cromer, unknown.artists.collective will develop a site-specific work on the beach and directly in front of Artspace on the Prom.

Artspace on the Prom and the town will be filled with exciting prints, creating discussion and engagement about printmaking
as well as showcasing individual artists and providing opportunities to buy original work.

Sam Hodge, Liz McGowan, Geoff Litherland, Yelena Popova: Painters who actively search for the more sustainable ways of living and working, building their studio practices away from the consumption of ready made art materials most of which are products of petrochemical industry.

Ruth Butler uses shapes and patterns found in both natural and man made forms, interested in the interaction between chance and control and our emotive response to colour.

Landscape and still life have been common tropes for artists for centuries, and are still being exploited through social media, the food images and selfies against exotic backdrops that flood our feeds.

Objects will hover above the ground allowing visitors to walk through and around the them. Sculptures made of black ‘Ciment Fondu’ will emerge from the ground to form a dialogue with both Ether and the visitors.

Artspace on the Prom will be filled with a variety of new and recent work, in a wide range of media by artists from East Anglia and beyond.

Francesca Cant, Kaitlin Ferguson and Hannelore Smith are three artists exploring urban and coastal environments. Key crossovers in their practices include investigations into materials, locality, process and form.

Hanse Experiments (Part I) brought us into contact with a variety of local people who have influenced the way we think about the Norfolk coastline and the North Sea. In Part II, exactly 12 months on, we are not only returning to place, but bringing together some of different strands and people who have informed the work.
