Hannah Whale – Cornish Abstract Art
Monday 8th November to Saturday 13th November 2021
Cornish Abstract is the collaboration of two
Cornish pals coming together to share their
passion for abstract art. Janine Ward and
Hannah Whale have known each other for
over 35 years and more recently they have
indulged each other in their love of colourful
and nonrepresentational work that both they
and others produce. They are influenced by
artists past and present as well as their own
surroundings and lives. Janine’s family have a
long history of fishing, an industry still
prevalent in her hometown of Looe. Hannah’s
ancestors on both sides were miners, her
Great Grandfather mining at Caradon whilst
her Mum’s family mined further down west in
areas around St Just.
Transferring their individual thoughts and
ideas to canvas or paper Janine and Hannah
use various mediums and collage in their
work, engaging a variety of brushes and tools,
professional and handmade, to create the
gestural marks, forms and shapes that make
up their individual works. Janine and Hannah
have their own unique styles thus appealing to
the wider audience and different tastes that
make you, the viewer, individual.
Some of you may be familiar with Hannah and
her work as she had both The Bohwne Yard
and Studio 10 in the Cattle Market for several
years. She has a diverse body of work, a lot
of which will be on show: ceramics, jewellery,
original paintings, textiles, homewares and
much more.
