SUMMARY:The Arborealists: 40 Works
DESCRIPTION:Untitled  by Arborealist Alan Rankle \n\n\nThis group show runs from March 22nd to April 19th.\n  \n\nThe Arborealists group founded in 2013 comprises  50 professional artists\, who celebrate trees with their 40th exhibition and the first time the group’s work can be viewed in Dorset.\n  \n\nThe Arborealists’ inaugural exhibition in 2014 at the Royal West of England Academy\, Bristol attracted national media attention\, with The Telegraph describing it as “spellbinding.”\n  \nThis new show of 40 selected works has been curated by the group’s founder\, artist and curator Tim Craven\, and returning artist Paul Newman\, Creative Director of Dorset Visual Arts based at Sherborne House.\n  \nThe Arborealists span a wide geographic range\, with members from across the UK and beyond.  Despite their diverse practices\, the group is united by a shared fascination with trees\, which is reflected in their dramatic\, contemplative\, expressive\, abstracted\, hyperreal\, and surreal artworks.\n  \nCollaborations with environmental organizations\, including national park authorities\, the National Trust\, National Landscapes and the Woodland Trust\, have produced nine publications with further site-specific projects on the horizon.\n  \nThe seed for this collaboration was sown during our parkwide 2023 Arbor exhibition\, and as we move from the winter months it heralds the arrival and colour of spring\, demonstrating the enduring relevance of trees in contemporary art and their power to captivate and inspire.

SUMMARY:Aborealists Gary Cook and Paul Newman in conversation
DESCRIPTION:‘The Woodlanders’ by Thomas Hardy\n“I recently re-read Thomas Hardy’s The Woodlanders and was struck by the number of wonderfully lyrical but very casual references he made to the nature around him. Today\, the encounters that he considered quite normal would be viewed as exciting\, rare and exceptionally lucky sightings.\n\nHardy wrote The Woodlanders’ novel in 1887\, during the course of the last 130 years\, and more specifically the past 30\, much of the wildlife that his generation considered commonplace in Dorset is now under threat or near to extinction. For example\, he frequently mentions nightingales; their numbers have declined by 92% since 1970 so it is truly a privilege to hear their melodic song these days. A myriad of human factors lie behind the loss of this bird\, which is so inspirational it has been a symbol of poets and creativity for centuries.”\nGary Cook\nRI SGFA Arborealist\n\nThis classic novel inspired Gary to paint the incredible Dorset landscapes and the various species dependent on it\, while incorporating Hardy’s incisive nature-notes into his work to serve as a clarion call for us all to protect the precious wildlife we have left.\n\nIn conversation with fellow Arborealist and Hardy enthusiast Paul Newman.\nPaul is the creative director for Dorset Visual Arts and coordinates Art Weeks events as well as other project work as a curator\, collaborator and writer.\n\n“As a graphic fine artist my work comes from places I’ve explored and returned to repeatedly\, with an ingrained personal significance\, it’s a response to being affected by memories or experience over time. Exploring the links between the places I find and the stories that have fashioned them\, I’m influenced by maps and writers\, geologists and legends\, songs and poems. Drawings and photographs taken in the field are then worked up into finished pieces in the studio”.\nPaul Newman (a self confessed ‘Hardy’ nut!)\n\nAll welcome. Please register interest as spaces are limited.\n\nChatting time approximately 45 minutes.
