On Close Inspection: Twenty3 Art Collective & Yvette Cannon

Silversmith Yvette Cannon joins Twenty3 art collective Sophie Firth, Richard Gregory, Jindra Jehu, Zara McQueen, Sarah Moore and Hester Poole.

An exhibition of jewellery, painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media works which prompt a closer look. The artworks are inspired by themes including home, journeys, memories, family and nature. This show brings a new collaboration with the internationally renowned silversmith Yvette Cannon, who introduces a new medium to the group.

The common element is that the surface detail, materials, mark-making or form elicit closer scrutiny. We invite you to lean in, pick up a looking glass and visually explore the artworks – what can you see and why?

Twenty3 art collective formed after completing the MA Fine Art course in the summer of 2023. Since then, the artists have exhibited regularly as individuals, and together at their successful show Convergence at The Fine Foundation Gallery, Durlston Country Park last year.

‘A fantastic show and wonderful to see the evolution and synergy of the work’ Fran, Dorset

‘Beautiful, thoughtful, considered exhibition – totally in tune with its setting. The art complemented and enhanced the beauty and magic of Durlston – a convergence indeed!’ AG.

You are warmly invited to meet the artists on Saturday 5th April, 4pm-6pm for a drink. Artist talks will take place from 4.45pm onwards, to find out more about the work and our creative processes.

Open 10am to 4pm daily. Free admission.
