Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham @ Gallery East

The works in our current exhibition, Dancing Into the Light – “letting rip”, are from Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham’s highly productive period.

Dancing into the Light, refers to this confident unleashing of expression. ‘Willie’ said her work was about expressing what she felt as well as what she saw. These works are packed full of movement, balance and colour, as ‘Willie’ had an unusual condition, synaesthesia, which gave her an instinctive insight into colour through her emotions.
