Forthcoming One-Man Exhibition


North by East
You are cordially invited to view
an exhibition of watercolour paintings by
Andrew Dibben, I.E.A., Dip.A.D.


In mid-2017, Andrew and his wife relocated to Gorleston-on-Sea, to a house with a grandstand view of the river Yare, the port of Yarmouth, and to the sea beyond. While still painting North Norfolk subjects, the artist has also embraced subject-matter from his new east coast surroundings, and will be showing a fascinating mixture of motifs in this exhibition.
This year marks fifty years from when Andrew enrolled at the then Norwich School of Art, and thirty years of working as a full-time landscape and marine artist. This personal landmark exhibition will feature a few paintings from earlier years, as well as a number of the small boat studies for which he is renowned. For several years, Andrew has experimented with a more contemporary style of cityscapes, few of which have had a public airing. By way of a complete contrast, a number of these intriguing studies will be shown here for the first time.
We hope that you will be able to join us!

888 AD The First Settlers on the Island of Great Yarmouth

Image
  A new project: I have written a story about the first people to settle on what was an island, where Great Yarmouth stands now, in the year 888. Two Saxon brothers decide to build houses on the island of Gernemutha, and take their families across to live there. They will be better placed to take advantage of the herring fishing in the autumn. But there are many problems to be overcome, and danger lurks at all times: although East Anglia is ruled by a Dane, King Guthrum, still Viking raids persist until the time of William the Conqueror. An illustrated children's book will hopefully see the light of day before Christmas! Top: Herewulf Gathers Mussels in the Great Estuary.

THE WATCHHOUSE, BLAKENEY POINT Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2007 - Sold I spent some time on Blakeney point in 2007, painting on location, then producing larger pictures back in the studio. This and the picture below are two of the studio paintings of this iconic building.

PANORAMA FROM SALTHOUSE HEATH, MAY 2008 Double-page spread from sketchbook, 28 x 75cm Painted over three days; it was so cold, with a northerly breeze, that I couldn't stand more than 2-3 hours on the spot at one time.
