THE paper artworks of celebrated artist Charles Shearer are currently being exhibited in Southampton Solent University’s Andrews Concourse Gallery until January 2015.

Charles Shearer, Works on Paper, features a small selection of pieces from a larger exhibition that Shearer displayed at The Pier Art Centre in Orkney last year.

The collection of prints, lithographs, sketches, paintings and drawings represent a range of works, produced over 20 years, which embody Shearer’s inspiration by landscape.

Primarily a printmaker, Charles also creates paintings and drawings of scenes inspired from his extensive travels both in the UK and overseas.

His most recent works take their inspiration from his travels around Wales and Ireland – in particular the ruins, castles and follies to be found there.

The Andrews Concourse Gallery is located in Southampton Solent University (main entrance), Michael Andrews Building.
