We have come to expect spectacle from Sandy Brown's art and craft. Large paintings sing with movement and colour. The pots rather courteously attend to her long-standing interests in Japanese ceramic traditions, while adding mercurial, dynamic interests of her own. For some time now these ceramic works have been gathering size and exuberance. Heavy and freely painted vases; tea and coffee pots that could sustain the largest family gathering with ease; plates of resounding abstract energy. Even Sandy Brown's house, as well as her majestic new studio and gallery in Appledore, North Devon, stand out amidst the elegant riverside terraces by virtue of their vibrant colour.
