outside inside is 5 friends with a shared vision, a shared belief in observation running through their practice, shared commitment to working from life. Working outside in all weathers, in urban environments, parks, by the sea, in pastoral landscape idylls and inside in sunlit interiors, still lifes of fruits leafy, twigs, bottles and jars, studio debris, sometimes carefully composed sometimes as it falls. The common thread running through it all, all the opposites all the approaches all the composition is a the process of looking and responding.
outsideInside showcases the work of 5 artists and their differing approaches and outcomes all driven by the singular act of looking.

Fantastic news for one of the OUTSIDEINSIDE team
Fantastic News for Paula With just a few weeks to go before OUTSIDE INSIDE hits the 340 Gallery on the Kings Road in the heart of Chelsea it’s such great news that one our team Paula MacFarlane has just been accepted into Chelsea Art Society as an Associate Member….
