Peter H. Phelps
1952 - 2012
A partially retrospective display comprising paintings, mostly in oils or acrylic, of a variety of landscapes, occasional portraits and semi-abstracts. Most items are from the 1900s to date with some works retained from earlier decades and several based on old drawings. Peter is a past President of the Fellowship of Professional and Amateur Artists.
"Although much of my work is descriptive, I am more concerned with the endeavour to convey to the spectator a visual experience" Peter Phelps

East Midlands Monochrome Group
The Beauty of Monochrome
In 1999 a group of like-minded photographers met to form the East Midlands Monochrome Group with the aim of promoting an appreciation of the monochrome image. This exhibition reflects the work of its members and, with no selection process necessary for inclusion, this is a true reflection of their work. The experience of members ranges from beginners to semi-professional photographers.
"We believe that monochrome images can capture the light and mood of a subject which is often lost in colour photography" EMMG
