Busy autumn for Chichester’s Candida Stevens Gallery
Candida said: “This autumn we are excited to be producing solo shows for three artists.
“Olivia Stanton featured in our first gallery exhibition in 2015 and was the first artist to have a solo show in the Chichester gallery. The others, Cecilia Charlton and Fred Coppin, are new to the gallery.

We therefore now open it in our Chichester gallery with a few new pieces in the mix.”
“We welcome visitors by appointment or to drop in during opening hours.”
Until October 3.
Olivia Stanton (b 1949) trained at Byam School of Art (now part of Central Saint Martins), London from 1973-77 under the tutelage of Wynn Jones and Bill Jacklin.
“Olivia’s work uses rich colour to fuse moments of bold geometry with hints of natural form. The work is sophisticated and visually stunning. The authority of the work transmits from an astonishingly matt paint surface. The matt surface exudes a calm that draws the viewer in to take a closer look.”
Cecilia Charlton – Aurora runs from October 10- November 7.

The exhibition is followed by Fred Coppin – Towards The Light (November 14-December 18).
“Fred Coppin captures an eternal sense of optimism in his work through a distinctive combination of amplified colour and playful forms. Exploring an eclectic range of unassuming everyday objects, Coppin’s paintings are tied together by an uplifting impulse to dissect, exaggerate and reassemble the world around us into its most hopeful state. Fred Coppin’s new work for November 2020 is a look at the perfect daydream.”
