WHEN it comes to showcasing diverse artwork, not many exhibitions display such a wide variety as what is about to go on show at Exeter's Real Food Store Cafe.
A dozen artists from the charity Exeter Visual Art (EVA), have collaborated to put on a show called A Transition of Seasons, made up of two to three pieces of work from established artists and recent graduates, and ranging from photography to printmaking, ceramics to painting, figurative to abstract.
The exhibition, running at the cafe in Paris Street from Tuesday, October 30, until Saturday, November 24, aims to be as diverse as EVA studios which is celebrating nearly three years of being based in Marsh Barton.
Among those exhibiting several pieces of work is ceramicist and graphic artist Ulrika-Igraine, from Exeter.
She explained: "All work focuses on the transition between fall and winter. Some of the artists have worked primarily with one season, and some have taken a very tangible and direct approach to the theme, while others have used abstract or very subtle notes in their creative process."
EVA studios, formerly known as Exeter Artspaces, is a provider of studios for artists and makers in Exeter and the South West. One of its aims is to provide affordable working studios for artists and makers.
The studios are currently the working space for nearly 40 artists.
Of those, a wide a range of disciplines can be found including jewellery, painting and sculpture, ceramics, installation art, photography, and textiles.
EVA studios also has a Project Space, which is available for use both by studio holders and for external rent.
Ulrika started helping as a volunteer at EVA in 2009, and is now on the board of trustees.
She recalled: "When I finished my degree EVA made it possible for me to have a studio I could work in, which really enabled me to continue making work and become full-time self-employed in my field."
Other artists featured in the exhibition include painter Jane Cope, printmaker Jeremy Speck, ceramic artist and maker Sylvia Llecha, painter and illustrator Kenson Low, and artist photographer Diana Wackerbarth.
An opening evening, with the chance to meet the artists involved, is being held on Thursday, November 8, from 6pm to 8pm. Everyone is welcome with refreshments available at the cafe bar.
EVA is also looking forward to a relaunch evening at its studios on Friday, November 30, to celebrate its three years in Marsh Barton.
The Real Food Store Cafe is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
