Wincanton artist Camilla Redfern is staging an exhibition, celebrating local landscapes and still life.
The event (27 May to 2 June) will see her showcasing her mixed-media artwork at her studio/gallery at
7 Market Place, Wincanton, adjacent to the Post Office. She is joined in this exhibition by Runima Kakoty.
The two share “a vibrant palette and expression of so many things that are familiar to us: the local landscape, exotic contexts, everyday objects; the figurative and abstract.”
Camilla found that the recent lockdowns drew her back to her creative roots, culminating in a discovery of mixed-media expression. She goes under the name Kairosart to reflect how lockdown prompted her to seize the day.
She explains: “In ancient Greek Kairos means ‘time’, but not just any time. It is about timeliness: the special moment when it is the opportune time

to do a particular thing; taking advantage of changing circumstances – creating a perfect moment to deliver a particular message with overtones of symmetry and balance.”
Runima Kakoty is originally from Assam, India and has been painting and exhibiting for much of her adult life. She draws on images and colours from her own culture as well as from European landscapes.
Camilla’s work is for sale and she also welcomes commissions. Prices range from £150 to £500.
