The Big Fight: Painting V Photography

The Big Fight: Painting V Photography
East Grinstead painters Kirsteen Benson BA (Hons) and Kitty Atkinson DA (Hons) will be fighting it out with photographer Samantha Wordie in Crawley Library this December.
David Hockney believes that paintings can do things that photography can’t. Edvard Munch said “Photography can never depict heaven or hell." It’s a controversial debate that has raged since the invention of photography and the next chapter is taking place in Crawley’s Library!
“I think combining painting and photography in the same show is really exiting for the viewer but I would not be surprised if it causes some debate – am planning to beat Samantha over the head with a painting to make my point.” Kirsteen Benson – Painter - www.bagsythat.co.uk
“Photography is art every bit as much as painting and you can see so for yourself!” Samantha Wordie – Photographer - www.wordiephotography.com
The show will be open from the 30th of November to the 21st of December for the public to view paintings and photography by the three artists. Library opening hours: Monday - Friday 9.00 - 7.00 Saturday 9.00 - 5.00
Bagsythat Art has been established for four years in Crawley and East Grinstead and this is the artists fourth Christmas show but the first time that Samantha Wordie Photography has been included.
“If we all survive we may work together next year too” Kirsteen

Crawley Library, Southgate Avenue, Crawley, RH10 6HG (Opposite Crawley Mall Debanhams).
