Folkestone ART Gallery proudly presents “In Balance,” an extraordinary exhibition featuring — Millie Cooper of Wild Berries Ceramics, Emily Barden, and ARBI. From February 9th to March 17th, 2024, immerse yourself in a captivating journey that transcends mediums, perspectives, and eras.

Millie Cooper, the creative force behind Wild Berries Ceramics, guides us through the serene intricacies of hand-built vessels. Her coiling technique and delicate carving bring forth a moment of balance, stillness, and serenity, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty of nature’s subtleties.

Emily Barden, a Folkestone-based artist, captures fleeting impressions with her unique blend of acrylics, oils, pastels, and drawings. Her work is an exploration of the snippets of beauty that unfold in the spaces between everyday roles—a testament to self-reflection and the delicate balance between past traumas, present gratitude, and the promise of each new day.

ARBI, deeply inspired by the mid-century design movement, introduces us to a world of balance and harmony within negative and positive spaces. His compositions, alive with color and deliberate play, reflect the principles of mid-century aesthetics, inviting viewers to appreciate the timeless elegance of balance in design.

Join us for the Private View on Friday, February 9th, from 6-8pm. “In Balance” is a celebration of the delicate equilibrium found in nature, emotion, and design. Through March 17th, 2024, let these diverse perspectives guide you through an immersive experience that explores the beauty of balance in its many forms.
