New display cabinet
Our new display cabinet looks really nice.
All the way from an old haberdashery shop in Aberystwyth, south Wales.
We've already filled it with Chisato's pop-up books, Victor Stuart Graham's seaside scenes and Tom Frost's toys
Cornelia O'Donovan Prints
We're delighted to welcome the talented Cornelia O'Donovan to The Old Sweet Shop art gallery.
Cornelia O'Donovan graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2006.
A narrative artist and prolific print maker she creates intriguing images built up using collage, pencil, paint and ink producing work using a remarkable unity of composition due to a skill in counterpoising moving and motionless figures which is counterbalanced by the absence of all perspective, the fondness for symmetry and lack of light and shade.
Landscape, trees and rocks, flowering shrubs and flowers depicted with subtle colour and seductive patterning. There is the description of the work, as paper drawings turn into paintings, ceramics, textiles and book works but something else really emerges the more it is seen - the energy and playfulness, the inventive theatre of imagination. Some marks have a very raw quality like a hastily drawn directions map, trying to find something, the marks hovering between description and abstract expressions.
Cornelia's work references stories, myths and literature and focuses on personal reminiscence, the complexities of human relationships, emotion and memories.

Graham Carter at The Old Sweet Shop
We're happy to anounce that we now have Graham Carter's screenprints on sale online and in the gallery.
Click to see Graham's work on our online shop.
'Graham Carter’s joyful prints reference many of the most loved images in modern culture: the characters from Star Wars or the eerie but manageable magic of Spirited Away. The artistic sensibilities stop these nostalgic influences from turning into twee: the gorgeously rendered digital art glows with vibrant colours' in Amelia's Magazine
Patrick Edgeley retro inspired prints
We just received five new screen prints by Patrick Edgeley.
Click to see his work.
Patrick Edgeley started out his life as a graphic designer but has turned his talents to screen printing in the last few years. Patrick is based on the south coast of England in Brighton & Hove.
He loves to bring type and vibrant colours into his work, using both hand drawn and real images collaged together.
The work of Victor Stuart Graham
We've just received the work of Victor Stuart Graham.
Victor trained as a graphic designer. He followed this with an MA at the Royal College in Textiles. Since then his work has taken many diverse forms, from teaching to painting municipal railings. Although he still knits, he has successfully reduced his textile output to ties and is now principally known for driftwood boats.
He uses soft worn woods lightly decorated in subtle reds, blues and greens to create the effects of trawlers and little pleasure boats. They are not remotely naturalistic, but often carry tiny details - metal anchors and portholes, messages coded in seafaring flags. Many of the boats are wall mounted, but some of them are free standing. In addition, he also makes rows of cottages. Like something from the north Cornish coast, they rest in craggy lines, nestling into larger pieces of wood.
His work is entirely dictated by his materials, a challenge which he enjoys.
