ARC FREE TICKETS TO PAMELA SCOTT WILKIE ARTIST'S TALK

ARC has ten free tickets for the talk by artist, Pamela Scott Wilkie on Sunday 21 November, 3.30pm at Chalk Hill Contemporary Art, Guildford.

Pamela Scott Wilkie was born in London and originally studied Fine Art with a former student of W. R. Sickert. Interpreting experience through drawing and colour is a common thread that links her paintings, drawings, prints and artist's books. She is particularly interested in exploring memories of poetic moments when time seems to have been suspended. She was commissioned by the Ikon Gallery to make the Horizons series of prints in 2007, 18 prints depicting places visited all over the world. This came after an earlier series known as Journey from 1970, when Pamela drove overland to Asia from the UK through Turkey, Iran and remote parts of Afghanistan. She produced a suite of 20 hand-pulled screen prints based on this experience setting up a studio in Rawalpindi making them there. Pamela Scott Wilkie's work is in private collections in the UK and many parts of the world and in numerous public collections including the V&A and The Rijksmuseum, the Netherlands.

ARC has ten free tickets to this event (normal price £10) including refreshments. Please book with Chalk Hill Contemporary Art stating that you have responded to this call out. Tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis.
