Liberty shares this great news about Isle of Wight artist Charles Inge. Ed
Work by local artist, Charles Inge, has been selected from over 1,100 submissions to appear alongside paintings by some of Britain’s leading marine artists.
The exhibition will be on display at Mall Galleries in central London between 28 September to 8 October 2016.
Polar opposite inspirations
Charles Inge has two paintings selected. ‘Tethered Beach Hut’ was inspired by a hut on Ventnor Beach.
It was painted partly from memory and partly from old photographs. The hut itself was destroyed in a storm a few years ago which accounts for its ghost-like appearance in the painting.

‘Raft of the Migrants’ is a reworking or Gercault’s famous Raft of the Madusa and is painted in response to the Syrian migrant crisis.
