Collages from Dunchideock
Exhibiting at Camelford Gallery
After a long period of embracing the Covid-19 lockdown – national and international – meaning: walking, hiking, biking in the beautiful countryside of North Cornwall, watching some good some less good, movies and series on Netflix and Amazon Prime, reading, relearning French and learning Italian, and often doing nothing, I am back to the active and creative part of myself. I am back at my studio. The weather is getting better, warmer. I am back in front of the easel and back at my drawing desk.
I have delivered a few old and new paintings to The Camelford Gallery, in the centre of Camelford at 23 Market Place.
The gallery is full of exciting paintings in oil, acrylics, watercolours, drawings, graphics and prints. If you are in Cornwall at the moment or planning a holiday this year, you should try hard to visit the gallery. It doesn’t have the usual holiday-like-boats-trashy-images. If you seriously appreciate quality art, The Camelford Gallery is the perfect place for you.
Here is the list of my paintings on display there at the moment:
She – an oil painting, nude.
Perfect Beauty – a watercolour, nude.
Impression – an oil painting, abstract landscape.
4 watercolours, diverse sizes and themes
Small Abstract Nr.1 – acrylics on paper.
This small abstract has had a very eventful life. See for example this YouTube video from my “Contemporary Art in the Community” project some years ago. It was recorded after a surfing session at Widemouth Bay, just a few miles up the A39 “Atlantic Highway” from here:

Animations
“Much Ado About How to Become a Famous Artist” is my first animation movie. I wrote the whole script and produced the animation together with Nico Cieslinski. The movie was made in cooperation with the VisionLore Group, a Polish animation company. They designed the visual characters.

The mystery of the vanishing items in The Valley of Imagination.
Imagine – my first children book based on a script written by Lech Cieslinski.
A group of very imaginative children take on a minor, missing belongings mystery. Unaware, that their investigation will eventually lead them to unravel a crime wave, happening under their own noses.
Imagine a beautiful valley, full of buzzing and humming honeybees, bee-wolves, bumblebees, cicadas, hawk-moths and butterflies. Imagine this valley surrounded by blue-purple-violet heather hills, fragrant with sweet flowers and fruity herbs. Imagine all the positive energy from the nature packed with happiness and love. Imagine the month of July and long summer days free from school and worries.

Contemporary Art in the Community
Contemporary Art in the Community
“Contemporary Art in the Community” is a joint project between Kasia Turajczyk and econnexus.org.
The primary aim of the project is to take contemporary art out of galleries and museums, to take it out of artist’s studios, and to show it to all sorts of different people in a variety of environments and locations around South West England.
We would like to discover from the ordinary people of Devon and Cornwall, what kind of art they like and what they don’t like. What contemporary art means to them? Are they interested in art at all? Is there a place for art in their life, living room, kitchen, mind? Or maybe they are not interested in art at all? These are the question and the items we are going to be asking people.
Maybe we will ask you too! 😎
