点评:We came to see “The Great Paignton Paint Out” exhibition on at Torre Abbey, on show until Sunday 23rd February.
What a special exhibition this is and well worth a visit. The artwork by a number of local artists is fabulous. Many of the works are of local landmarks around Paignton and along with the descriptive panels showed me more about the history behind Paignton’s growth subsequent to the arrival of GWR railway from London. Theatres, cinemas and hotels than I had discovered in the seven years since we moved to Torquay. The two exhibition spaces are beautifully laid out with many examples of the hundreds of local amateur’s work produced on Paignton Green on the Paint-out Day last year along with those from the Professionals.
As a regular to the Abbey it was wonderful to see the main exhibition space bathed in light from the windows, for once not darkened by the shutters.
And the new view of the seafront across the recently opened pathway transform the view. How exciting for visitors to Torquay being able to park on the sea front and walk straight up to the entrance.
翻译:我们来 Torre Abbey 观看“佩恩顿户外绘画大展”,展览将持续到 2 月 23 日星期日。
这是一个多么特别的展览,值得一看。许多当地艺术家的作品都很棒。许多作品都是关于佩恩顿周围的当地地标,连同描述性面板一起,向我展示了更多关于伦敦 GWR 铁路抵达后佩恩顿发展的历史。剧院、电影院和酒店比我们搬到 Torquay 七年来我发现的还要多。两个展览空间布局精美,有许多当地业余爱好者在去年户外绘画日在佩恩顿绿地创作的数百件作品,以及专业人士的作品。
作为修道院的常客,很高兴看到主展览空间沐浴在窗户的光线中,第一次没有被百叶窗遮暗。
而新开通道对面的海滨新景观改变了视野。对于前往托基的游客来说,能够将车停在海边,然后直接步行到入口,这是多么令人兴奋的事情。
