From Newlyn to Lamorna

From Newlyn to Lamorna is an exhibition of paintings by artists associated with the early Newlyn School and pre-WW1 Lamorna Group. The exhibition is a collaboration between two galleries and will be "fluid" as paintings will be changed during the show. One of the highlights is a series of Lamorna paintings by Eric Ward, one of Cornwall's leading contemporary artists.

Gwen Whicker. Still life titled Flowers in a Silver Vase, oil on board, signed, 13in x 16in. Presented in a fine hand finished gilt frame.

Gwendoline Whicker (nee Cross) was born in Bristol in 1900. She studied at the Bristol Municipal School of Art, against her parents wishes. There she met the Australian born artist Frederick Whicker, whom she later married. They jointly exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy from 1923 to circa 1935, but Gwen was never elected an associate member, though she was a founding member of the New Bristol Art Club and was the first President. The Whickers moved from their home in All Saints Road, Clifton, Bristol just after the war to Wood Lane in Falmouth, Cornwall. There Gwen and Fred became members of the St Ives Society of Artists, where they became secretary and treasurer respectively. They exhibited until their deaths. Gwen produced etchings, paintings, drawings, sculpture, jewellery and silver wares.
