- An Exhibition of Watercolour Paintings by Helen HilliardThe Grange Gallery (Rottingdean Heritage) An Exhibition of Watercolour Paintings by Helen Hilliard The Grange in Rottingdean, Sussex, will be holding an exhibition of botanical watercolour paintings by Sussex artist Helen Hilliard (1921–2004), sponsored by the Rhododendron, Camellia and Magnolia Group (RCMG) of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). The exhibition will present watercolours of the three genera that were a favourite of Helen. Helen made great use of her considerable artistic talent, also producing lovely watercolour landscapes and specialising in life-size flower portraits. With her skill and great eye for the finer details, she painted extremely accurately and so beautifully an exact picture; not just of any flower, but an immediately recognisable image of the species or variety, which jumps off the page as being correct. It’s amazing how she could portray a white flower on a white background and make it stand out so clearly! Paintings will be for sale with funds being raised for the MNDA Charity. Wednesday 2–Sunday 27 September Open Wednesday–Saturday 10.00am–4.00pm Sunday 1.00 pm–4.00 pm For more information and details please go to www.rottingdeanheritage.org.uk The Grange Gallery, The Grange, The Green, Rottingdean BN2 7HA Admission: free Information: 07393-055847 / www.thegrangegallery.org.ukUntil 27 NovGrange Gallery

- Exhibition - Silent Companions A solo show of work by Amy DurySilent Companions A solo show of work by Amy Dury Wed 21st October - Sun 1st November, 11:00am - 5:00pm, or by appointment With solo shows in the UK, New York and Berlin and a major commission for Hermès in Paris that saw her work displayed along the length of the Champs Elysée; the last few months have confirmed Amy Dury as one of the country’s most exciting and in demand young artists. Her new show, Silent Companions, continues Dury’s fascination with figures from the recent past. She writes; “Looking back into our recent past is an act of remembering and nostalgic misremembering, with photographs and film becoming the vehicle which constructs stories about ourselves. Our history instructs, seduces and tethers us, and I look to use paint to examine these emotive memories which reflect current themes and tensions in contemporary life.” The setting of The Regency Town House gives her both inspiration and scope to create large scale work and promises to be a show not to be missed.Until 1 Nov, 11:00–17:00The Regency Town House
