Title: Balls
Artist Group: The Fairways Of Newport

This is the third exhibition by the Serialist Art Collective

A new project by the serialist Art Collective, inspired by the Ryder Cup 2010 golf tournament to be held at the Celtic Manor resort, Newport. The theme is about golf and how the Ryder Cup coming to Newport has changed the city, good, bad, the artists views put down in paint.

... Remembered is the crucial element of the project which was to envisage the golf world encroaching more and more into Newport, swallowing up it's suburbs into a mega golf course...what happens to the ordinary folks then, estranged from their highrise in Ringland for example? How does the Ryder Cupites compare with Newportians we know and love? This discussed in an array of colour, form and texture by the artists in their own intrinsic style.

Artists: Ariel Seratonine Jones, Andrew Podmore, Austin J. Curtis, Steven Jones, Louise Horton, Stephanine Roberts, Meurigg Watkins, Caroline Smith and Dan Romer.
