Solo Exhibition
Collages
Scilla Gallop
At Crown Hills Art Society, our website gives all members the opportunity to have their own mini online exhibition in which they can showcase their work.
​
For some it may be the chance to present new pieces to gain feedback, for others the ability to allow a retrospective of their art or as in the case of Scilla Gallop (an artist whose work has appeared in many Leicestershire exhibitions over the years) a focus on a particular medium they have used.
​
​
All our artists welcome constructive feedback and many have work for sale or will take commissions - please feel free to email us at
crownhillsartsociety@gmail.com
and your comments will be passed on to the relevant artist.
This is a selection of collages that I have made over the past few years. Although I do enjoy making them, I only do it when required to do so for a class. Once I get started I find the process very absorbing and I am often quite pleased with the results. All of these collages were done for Diane Hall’s ‘Problem and Criticism’ class at Attenborough Arts. Sometimes I add collage to a painting to create a contrast or because it is the easiest way to achieve the effect I want.

1 and 2- The theme for the term was Passing Glimpses and only the leaves are collaged.

5 - The theme was Branching Forms and for 6 Lines in the Landscape.
5 Rocks at Beacon Hill

7 and 8 - The theme for these was to do with thoughts about Europe.
I drew a continuous line sketch with my eyes shut and developed the collages from it.
