We are delighted to present Balancing Form by Emma Oughtibridge, which will be showing at Zapato Taproom from Friday 12th April. Please join us for the exhibition preview from 7pm onwards.

‘After completing a Fine Art degree, I graduated from Brighton University with a PGCE in 2000.  I moved from London to Holmfirth to set up a professional studio, becoming a part-time tutor of adults and young people. This creative freedom allowed me to focus on developing my own creative style. I now teach A level Art at Rochdale Sixth Form College, alongside working as a contemporary abstract painter.’

‘A grey slice of stillness, scratched into the surface, converses with an adjacent cadmium block. A wedge of black stands against an irregular rectangle of lemon yellow. Red speaks loudly, layer upon layer, muted by grey greens.  Imperfect coral tones drag leaving staccato marks on canvas.  A thin line boldly intersects a dominant form leaving a tenuously balanced single transparent semi-circle. These constructions depict the interplay of rhythm with composition.’

Balancing Form is running until 18th May. Please check Zapato website for the most up to date opening hours.
