Mapping the Undercliffs Nature Reserve 

23 July - 13 September 2024
 

A refreshing new way for us to look at the Dorset and Devon coastal paths is offered in this fascinating collection of images and strip maps hand-drawn by nature journaling artist Alex Boon, who spent a year documenting the pathways, wildlife and landmarks of the Undercliffs Nature Reserve.  
Be inspired to replicate Alex’s journeys with your own coastal adventure.

 Richard Kaye, Recent Works

 

Opening date: Tuesday 13th August  Closing date: Monday 26th August

 

Opening times: 10 – 5 daily (including Sundays)

 

Featuring works by Richard Kaye, including Painting, Printmaking and Drawing
 

This is a hugely varied show including paintings, wooden reliefs, screen prints and drawings. Richards work is currently heavily influenced by architecture and bold angular compositions.

 

The most recent paintings include abstract landscapes featuring views of Exeter as well as some architectural paintings of buildings at night time.

 

Also on show are a series of wooden reliefs featuring brightly painted shapes arranged on top of each other. The shapes are angular, sometimes architectural, and the colours are vivid. In these pieces of work the shapes literally jump out of the frame due to the depth of the layers and use of complimentary colours.

 

The print work on show includes a series of screen prints focusing on Brutalist architecture in London, bought to life using bright primary and neon colours to force the viewers attention. These works include Trellick Tower, the National Theatre and the Barbican.

 

Although the work is varied, the viewer can feel a real sense of journey with the angular shapes and uncompromising compositions.

 

Richard’s exhibitions in the Malthouse have always proved popular, as his work is so far removed from what’s often exhibited at coastal galleries.

WALKS and TOURS

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't risk it!

Liz Jones Memorial Walks
A selection of 12 walks around Lyme Regis area  to do at your leisure  see here for maps

FOSSIL WALKS

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
