Autumn Exhibition 2017: The Biscuit Factory

The Biscuit Facotyr's Autumn Exhibition showcases a wide range of contemporary art, craft and design work from more than 200 artists.

The gallery welcomes back Raquel Alvarez Sardina as the headline artist this season with her new collection of still life paintings. Born in Barcelona and now based in Gloucestershire, Raquel is interested in the beauty of nature, by its form, colour and texture, positioning objects next to the window to make the most of the light. In her darker paintings, she is inspired by old masters and tries to emulate a candlelit atmosphere. Discussing her new exhibition, Raquel says: “Preparing a solo show is very demanding and challenging. I hope people admire the quality of my work and at the same time feel the emotions that went into creating it.”
