This is Cornwall

ART at the Cape presents an exhibition of photography, painting and drawing at Cape Cornwall, the second in its popular series, during half-term week.

The area around Cape Cornwall, including Cot Valley, Porth Nanven, Carn Gloose, Porthledden and the Kenidjack Valley has attracted the attention and inspired legions of artists, such as the late Karl Weschke, with international reputations.

In recent years the focus of attention – quite literally – has come especially from an Exeter-based photographer called Andrew Nadolski whose collection of images toured Britain and were featured in a book called, simply, The End of the Land.

Joanna Pitman of The Times saw Andrew Nadolski's impressionist views as being nearer to art than photography. She said: "Nadolski has shown himself to be a perceptive observer of the landscape's most subtle variations, each shot personal, pure and self-contained.

"With the wash of a constantly moving sea, seen lapping softly over the stones, or frothing and running in tiny rivulets at their edges, the pictures take on a condition that begins to approach music."

St Just's Great Atlantic Gallery group will be exhibiting a selection of Andrew's photographs alongside the work of a number of other artists who have been inspired by this remarkable area.

Included are works by Neil Davies, Catherine Harvey Jefferson, Michael Strang and Carrie Taylor alongside paintings by relative newcomers Neil Bolton, Collin Halliday and Ian Shearman.

The exhibition will be staged in the Function Room at Cape Cornwall Golf and Leisure Resort from Monday to Thursday, Februray 18.

Andrew Nadolski will be there to open the show on Sunday between 4pm and 6pm – all are welcome.

Admission is free.
