Skies are so eminently paintable, always offering new forms: endlessly surprising, abstract and tactile in equal measure. A subject realised in J.M.W. Turner\u2019s hands, from his home skies over Margate\u2019s east coast to the westernmost edge of the Hebrides; an artist who said, \u201cI paint what I see, not what I know.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way the artists curated here rise to the challenge of seeing is manifold. Take\u00a0Emily Gregroy-Smith<\/a>, who is constantly drawn back to her home coast in West Wales to transmit in her work its elemental freshness. An effect she achieves through blurring pigment, smudging the marks to wind-swept effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yasmin Davidson<\/a>\u00a0is palpably thrilled by her environment, as expressed by brushwork and buoyant colours.\u00a0Nina Goldsmith\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0\u2018Velocity\u2019 is visceral and irradiant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s as if celestial fingers have traced the blue sky with white markings in\u00a0Briony Anderson\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0series of cloudscapes.\u00a0 The artist places clouds centre stage, not needing any excuse to focus on them alone \u2013 untethering them from the land echoed in these painterly formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Henrietta Clavering<\/a>\u00a0opts for a textured surface, and\u00a0David Rae\u00a0<\/a>for icy stillness in his memory-scape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art Masters\u00a0Emiko Aida<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sax Impey<\/a>\u00a0represent the sky to contrasting effects. Emiko Aida shows it diminished in size by the city, yet glowing; Sax Impey shows it to velvet effect, huge using silk screen printing on soft paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
