A CROWD turned out to an Ipswich law firm to see an exhibition of contemporary art from a Suffolk-led artist group.

A private viewing was held at Kerseys headquarters in Lloyds Avenue to display art from the collective DIG!

The Towards The Light exhibition, which is open for viewing until autumn, features work from a range of artists in the region who have worked on various projects together.

Kerseys managing partner Anthony Wooding is an artist and member of DIG! He has been pleased to display some of his own work with the group.

He said: “There is a range of work, both figurative and abstract, from some very talented artists.

“I believe some of the artwork, which is reasonably priced, will be a great investment as some of the young artists are definitely going places.”

DIG! now has a permanent base at The Freudian Sheep art gallery in Ipswich. The group first exhibited at Kerseys in October 2013 and since then it has grown from 10 members to 60.

DIG!, which welcomes artists of varying ages and abilities, has continued to exhibit at the law practice and have thanked Kerseys for all their support.

Ian Moss, a founding member of DIG! and The Freudian Sheep, said: “Without Kerseys, and in particular Anthony, it’s likely that some of our outward thinking wouldn’t have happened.

“We know that art can and does have a role to play in everyday life. The opportunity to show our sell our work at Kerseys has given our artists the confidence to carry on here in Ipswich.”

Visitor Caroline Gosling said: “I really enjoyed the event and was very impressed by all the wonderful art work. It was also very good that the artists themselves were there and to hear their enthusiasm for their hard work.”

The ‘Towards the Light’ exhibition reflects DIG!’s theme of continuing in the ‘right’ direction.
