The exhibition Lindy Dunbar, Movement & Rest, Drawings & Paintings runs from April 9 to May 1 from 11am to 4pm, at The Birley Centre, Carlisle Road, Eastbourne, BN21 4EF.

Opening times are weekends only; also open Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday, but closed Easter Saturday.

Lindy said: “I paint and draw directly from life celebrating the individuality, dynamism, curves and shapes in the moving and motionless human form using varied materials such as paint, ink, charcoal and pastel on canvas or paper.

“Each medium has a particular excitement and the quality of marks and colour palette is of paramount importance. During lockdown I accepted the new challenges of drawing figures via Zoom.

“Dancers, acrobats and performers are often the basis of my work as they move before me.

“And it’s a pleasure to share in their creative process.

“There is never more than a brief moment of stillness and I have to grasp what I see, capturing the serendipity of the fleeting tensions as they emerge and disappear.

“I strive to give the appearance that the figure has only just arrived and could get up and move away at any moment, even in a longer pose.

“The local Sussex landscape is also a fascination.

“We are so lucky to have these gorgeous scenes on our doorstep.”
