Delamore Arts annual exhibition

Now in its 17th year, you could be forgivcn for being slightly overwhelmed with the prospect of Delamore Arts annual exhibition. The month long show by now in full swing with a hundred and forty artists displayed in the light airy rooms and in the formal garden and grounds on the Eastern edge of Dartmoor. But where to begin? It can feel like sensory overload without some sort of plan, so try seeding out these artists first – five or our favourites.

Delphine Jones Studied Graphic Design and lllustra1ion at the Exeter College of Art and Design and specialises in screen prints of the Devon landscape from ploughed fields to beaches. Beginning with a series of sketches, rubbings and photographs, she dismantles her subject into its component parts before rebuilding it into a final print. Her pictures, which are highly textural and slightly abstracted have a tremendous luminous quality which energises the final image.
