Joan Eardley - The Sea at Catterline : Exhibition
Heritage Open Day: Come and see this exhibition exploring the expressive seascapes created by Joan Eardley. one of the most distinctive British artists of the twentieth century who was inspired by the fishing village of Catterline in North East Scotland Eardley first visited the village of Catterline in 1951 and was captivated by its rugged coastline and the ever-changing North Sea, returning regularly before eventually making it her home.
Working outdoors in challenging conditions, often on the cliff edge overlooking the sea, Eardley created expressive, richly textured paintings that capture the energy, movement and atmosphere of the landscape. Using materials such as thick paint, sand and grasses, she built surfaces that evoke the physical force of wind and waves.
