<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>North by East</b></span><span face=""><br />You are cordially invited to view<br />an exhibition of watercolour paintings by<br />Andrew Dibben, I.E.A., Dip.A.D.</span></div>
<span face="" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="" style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span><br />
<span face="" style="font-size: x-small;">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.</span><br />
<span face="" style="font-size: x-small;">We hope that you will be able to join us!</span></div>
