Duckett and Jeffreys Gallery presents 'Measured Space’, an exhibition by Susan Laughton of paintings of remembered details and fleeting juxtapositions that use the landscape as source.

Susan comments, ‘The landscape is my starting point, not as a picturesque static view, but as a space travelled through and experienced often on the edges of the urban and the rural. It is a source of man made and natural structures, surfaces and colour that allow me to construct my own pared down responses to capture memories of land and sky and the marks we make upon them.’

Ian Mitchell, gallery co-manager adds, ‘We are constantly blasted with visual information, to the extent that we may no longer look and see. Susan’s pared down landscapes bring order, balance and control to an often chaotic visual world as she observes the distant and mundane and brings to the viewer a new ordered sense of beauty’.
