In June, Sophie Cordery will be showing new paintings and etchings in a solo exhibition at the Old Free School in Watford. As well as viewing Sophie’s art, this will be a great opportunity to visit an historic and little known building in the heart of Watford.
Sophie Cordery’s paintings depict everyday objects and interiors in a sensitive and original way, often using old textiles as canvas. Her paintings of empty rooms, lonely chairs and derelict buildings speak of memories tied to a sense of place. She uses use light, distance, colour, scale and unorthodox surfaces to challenge the conventions of painting and explore approaches to representation.
This exhibition is organised by Amanartis, a growing and dynamic presence on the Watford art scene.
Please join us for the opening of this show on Thursday 5th June, 6 to 8

Press release
 The AA2A (Artist Access to Art College) project is a national set of schemes, providing visual artists and designer makers with the opportunity to undertake a period of research or realise a project, using workshop and supporting facilities in fine art and design departments of Higher and Further Education institutions. This gives participating artists and makers the opportunity to use equipment which otherwise might not be available to them, as well as benefiting the institution by bringing in ideas and techniques which may not otherwise enter the college environment.
SOPHIE CORDERY will use her residency at UH (as part of the AA2A programme) to develop an experimental new body of work combining paintings and print. The work will evolve organically from a few core ideas, roughly based on the themes of houses, interiors and domesticity, exploring the idea of a sense of place. By depicting everyday objects such as chairs and empty rooms, she wants to evoke familiarity and poetic possibilities. (posted on 18/11/2012)

Reviews and comments
J'aime beaucoup, c'est gai et créatif , bravo
A qui s'adresse le message du titre ? Aux fleurs sans doute…. Une composition agréable. J'aime notamment le liseré qui dessine les plantes transparentes.

Bravo Sophie,
j'ai trouvé des peintures vraiment très jolies. Continue. Bien à toi, Philippe
Bravo Sophie, je trouve que c'est très beau. As-tu des projets d'expos en France ?
I love the bright colours, the shapes and the chairs.
Super j'aime beaucoup ce que tu fais, j'aimerais voir tes toiles de plus pres ...
Wonderful stuff - keep up the good work!!
Great effort! Best wishes for the future!
Hello Sophie - your work is lovely!
Best wishes, Jane
This sculpture is by Roger Stephens who exhibited his beautiful abstract sculptures alongside my paintings in Carteret in June 2017
The image is inspired by a photo of holiday houses on the Normandy coast.
This small etching is printed from a zinc plate and the shadows are created from careful wiping of the ink (no aquatint here).
It is the same piece as 'All in Order'. A nice early work with deep embossment in the thick somerset paper.
Merci mille fois!

Cette structure me fait penser à un bâtiment très moderne à Carthagène , en Espagne . Ce doit être un musée .
