Gillian Allard began her career as a photojournalist, but in recent years her work has evolved as her approach has become more subjective. Gillian’s images of landscape have emerged from her desire to escape what she sees as the constraints of the human subject and explore the emotional world through an interaction with nature. Gillian’s work ranges from the serene to startling, raw abstractions, for which her black and white technique is perfectly suited. Taking as her subjects rivers, fields and the natural environment and textures of Great Britain, Gillian produces photographs characterised by an interest in form and innovative composition.
Gillian has been awarded both the British Council Travel Award and the Sunday Times Magazine Award for her work, and is currently teaching at Suffolk One Sixth Form College.
The works in this series have so far been exhibited in London, North Norfolk, Wiltshire and a small selection at Suffolk One Sixth Form College.
All are hand printed silver gelatin photographs in bespoke hand painted soft wood frames.
There is an opportunity to meet Gillian at the gallery on Saturday 14th April 12 noon – 3pm and all are very welcome.
Gallery Open 11am – 4pm Fri – Sunday
