Fifty Wessex Artists
The first [EVOLVER] book, Fifty Wessex Artists, features the work of fifty professional artists currently living and working in the region.
Each artist is represented by a full page example of their work alongside a short essay by Fiona Robinson and a studio-based portrait photograph by Richard Sercombe.
[EVOLVER] magazine editor (and designer of the book) Simon Barber says: "We wanted to build on the success of the magazine by publishing a book that could celebrate the quality and originality of the region's most exciting artists."
In his foreword, Professor Simon Olding, former director of Bournemouth's Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and now professor at the University of Creative Arts, describes the book as "a gathering of interest in a community of artists," revealing "a valuable snapshot of compelling fine art."
Fifty Wessex Artists is available to buy online or at selected galleries throughout the region.
