Episode 15 - Thelma Speirs
Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Thelma Speirs to coincide with her solo exhibition 'Night Walks ' in The Cupboard at Liminal Gallery in Margate. Located inside our Margate gallery, The Cupboard is a tiny but sleek space is open to artists living and working in Thanet. Aimed to help support the local creative community, we accept all proposals from all practices and it is free to apply. It is a unique and playful space for artists to experiment with new ideas, to build on their existing practice and a valuable opportunity for a solo exhibition to further their careers. The residency spans 3 months and is selected by Liminal Gallery Founder and Director, Louise Fitzjohn. It was created as a way to ensure we don't just take from our community, but that we give back and support local creatives.
'Night Walks' is a solo exhibition by Margate-based artist Thelma Speirs, which reveals a collection of evocative drawings and paintings, meticulously documented within the pages of a vintage French accounts book. Through Speirs' artistic lens, the urban and natural landscapes of London and Margate converge, giving way to a tapestry of ethereal nightscapes, enchanted woodlands, abandoned sports pitches, mythical creatures, and the enchanting winter skies, intertwining the realms of reality and imagination.
Using a diverse array of mediums, such as acrylic paint, pencil drawing, felt-tip pens, and nail varnish, Speirs captures the elusive moments experienced during nocturnal excursions. Each brushstroke, every pencil mark, and vibrant hue on the paper breathes life into snapshots of a dreamlike narrative.
Visitors have the unique opportunity to delve into the artist's intimate sketchbook-turned-diary. To further enhance the immersive experience, personalised archival gloves are provided, allowing viewers to delicately leaf through the pages for an intimate exploration.
