Landscape; Shrivelights and Shreeps.
Melvyn Petterson and the Ropewalk Printmakers
The title for this exhibition came from words from Gerard Manley Hopkins: Shirvelights which means splinters of light, and from Robert McFarlane's Landmarks: Shreeps meaning of mist, to clear away partially from East Anglia.
Melvyn Peterson was born in Cleethorpes and studied at Grimsby School of Art and Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. He is a member of the Royal Scociety of Painter-Printmakers and is widely exhibited and published. He bases his work on the drama played out in nature and he prefers those times when nature displays he more provocative side be they only fleeting.
The Ropewalk Printmakers is an informal collective of artists from both banks of the Humber and based on The Ropewalk Gallery in Barton on Humber.
