William Campbell revisited

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

William Campbell at work in his new space at Alfies

It is more than a couple of years now (September 2015) since I wrote about William and the fine work he does in his framing studio at Alfies Antiques Market.  I am writing about him once again to tell you about his move from the ground floor to a more spacious area on the first floor as these images show.

In this show of some forty works the Dorset-born artist takes us on a journey into history with his ideas of how music-making and dance may have started. These painted reliefs reflect his long-held interest in the worlds of archaeology, anthropology and science and this juxtaposition with their titles which are either taken from notable works or figures in music and dance fire the viewer’s imagination to picture the past. It’s a show where – as the song says – “the melody lingers on”!
