The exhibition is called “Collection”, which is made up of work from 6 Suffolk artists including myself. The artists exhibiting are as follows (linked to their websites):
Klair Bauly
Klair’s work at the Apex showcases her recent collection of stillness collage and a series of Giclee prints of abstracted landscapes.
Jo Clavier
Abstract expressionist paintings, some inspired by remnants of frescoes in Pompeii, some by layers of peeling paint on an old door, and some by the costal landscape
Miranda Grayling
“Always an element of surprise when I pull gorgeous colours onto Japanese rice paper and add a simple motif. All artworks are originals.”
Marina Jacobs
Marina’s artwork at The Apex is from her Autumn Leaves collection.
Marian Lishman
My collection for the exhibition is my most recent abstract expressionist work with mark making, bringing together colours and shapes.
Mandy Renton (Budgerigardener)
Mandy’s Apex Collection features a range of bird and wildlife subjects but her next exhibition in May – ‘Preen’ at The Craft House, Woodbridge – will be all about the feathers.

The exhibition is open at all times when the venue is open – so whenever there are events happening in the theatre or the café is open during the day, you can go up and have a look.
If you are interested in buying anything then one of us may be on hand, otherwise you can ask the staff at the box office. Art can be wrapped and taken away on the day.
If you want to contact any of the artists then you can use this form or follow the links on that page to get to their social media accounts.
