<p><strong>On Saturday 5th October, Trerise Gallery is opening Transcendent, an exhibition featuring the work of <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-photography" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BA (Hons) Photography</a> students from Plymouth College of Art.</strong></p> <p>Transcendent is a collection of images by these three diverse photographers, Rebecca Brown, Hannah Cook and Tony Fitzsimmons.</p> <p><strong>Rebecca Brown’s </strong>images document the scars that open cast mining and quarries have left along with the beauty of nature trails that have reclaimed the land.</p> <p><strong>Hanna Cook </strong>explores how abstract expressionism in 20th century painting translates through the medium of photography and loosely based on the cycle of a year. ‘8766 hours’ reflects the moods and atmosphere of the seasons in an ambiguous way. Interested in cross-disciplinary work, Hanna is developing her own style that combines her enthusiasm for other genres of art.</p> <p><strong>Tony Fitzsimmons </strong>combines his three favourite passions – landscape, weather and the animal kingdom – showcasing a beautiful range of commercial imagery that highlights the power and beauty that is our natural world.</p> <p><em>“</em><em>To prepare and set up an exhibition feels crucial and we hope this will be the first of many to come” </em>says Tony.<em> “Plymouth College of Art tutors and technicians are always very supportive with our projects and have helped us make some of our work reality.”</em></p> <p>The exhibition consists of work from projects previously worked on during their second year on the Photography Foundation Degree as well as the artist’s own personal work.</p> <p><strong>Transcendent, 5 – 11 October 2013</strong></p> <p><strong>Open 11am – 6pm</strong></p> <p><strong>Trerise Gallery 135 Hoe Road Plymouth Hoe PL1 3DE</strong></p>
