SWLA Exhibition

As we were meeting some friends in town today, we thought that we would meet at the Mall Gallery and view the Society of Wild Life Artists annual exhibition.

We have not been to one of their exhibitions before and we found it a real eye opener. Though it is themed as an exhibition of wild life paintings and sculpture, the variety of styles was amazing. There was everything from the near photographic type of painting

to the very near abstract, but everything kept the wild life theme, even though this was not immediately apparent.

We were lucky enough to have been able to go on the President of the society's tour of the show, in which not only did she explain the methods and thinking behind some of the works, but also introduced us to a few of the artists featured, who were able to give very deep insights into their work.

We found it a most interesting exhibition and well up to the high standards set at the Mall Gallery. Very well worth a visit.
