The Royal West of England Academy’s Annual Open Exhibition, now in its 171st edition, is one of the largest open art events in the Southwest, showcasing a diverse range of artistic styles and mediums. This year, Jacqueline Duncan’s work “Swell Lambda 1” has been selected to be featured in the exhibition.
Selected Work
‘Swell Lambda 1’ explores the interplay between natural elements and abstract forms. Inspired by tidal harmonics, the mixed media artwork explores the energy of water through a blend of materials and vibrant colour.
Jacqueline’s work often reflects her fascination with the natural world, and ‘Swell Lambda 1’ invites viewers to immerse themselves in the undulating waves and to experience both the serenity and power of water.
