The Ann Bryant Art Gallery’s Peep Show Exhibition currently on display runs until September 10.
The exhibition includes intricate miniature paintings, drawings, pottery, and ceramics.
The detail that many of the artists capture in their miniature art is part of what makes this exhibition well worth viewing.
“We’ve got a variety of art here. We’ve got ceramics and sculptures.
“I sometimes describe peep show art as what you would see if you look through a small keyhole.
“That is why we have a peep show, to show little art and highlight the intricate details that are created using the peep show technique.
“The variety we have here is some of the best we’ve seen,” said Barry Gibb, a well-known art critic who has worked with the Ann Bryant Art Gallery on many occasions. The exhibition also features small works of pottery from local artist Gwyneth Lloyd.
Lloyd said creating her small works had been an interesting challenge.
“It wasn’t very difficult to make these smaller pieces but I usually make very large vases. The techniques are still the same but everything has to be downscaled.
“Each step takes a couple of days to complete. I seldom use paints because the natural colours of the clay come out so beautifully.
Some of the other artists who submitted work are Margery Bradfield, Karen Kew, Leon du Preez, Barry Gibb, Bernadette Taylor, Heather Spilsbury, Claudi Kriel, and students from Lovedale Tvet College who submitted work as part of their course requirements.
