‘Cornucopia’ also known as the horn of plenty arrives to spread its bounty at Cupola Gallery. In classical antiquity, the cornucopia, also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment.
Taking this as our starting point Cupola aims to celebrate the breadth of creativity seen in the arts. Cupola Gallery have selected submissions of the wonderful and fantastic, feasts for the eyes, nourishment for the soul, a joyous celebration of the human spirit of generosity.
Cupola Gallery are not only showcasing work that responds to the theme but also work that is affordable and accessible. It is very important that the feel of the show is not only opulent but is open to all and will have something everyone can take home from our bounty.
Cupola Gallery have selected a broad selection of work across media from the vibrant and energetic to the deeply meditative and minimal, including figurative and abstract works; painting, sculpture, printmaking, glass, ceramics, textiles, jewellery, photography, digital print and hand made gift items.
Textile works are well represented including a contemporary ‘Persian rug’ i.e. a rug made by an Iranian artist, hand embroidered ‘paintings’, a large wall hanging, contemporary woven mixed media panels, textile sculpture ‘books’, stitched and collaged mixed media assemblages and stunning silk scarves.
The exhibition is shared across all four gallery spaces plus our sculpture garden which means a complete rehang of the entire premises energising and reimagining each space.
