Every year, during the South East Open Studio time I make the effort to visit Tonbridge artist Nick Hebditch at his home in Deakin Leas, and every year I am not disappointed, but thrilled that I have once again had the opportunity to view, not only some of Nick's older work, but his latest pieces too, and to make a fuss of his two well-behaved Scotties.
Nick's fascination with architecture and buildings is reflected in his work and he has painted everything from weathered walls or doorways, to the wider views of several buildings through to cityscapes. This interest has drawn him to the beauty of Venice, Paris, Barcelona and the South of France. These places, transformed into colour, cover the walls as you journey from country to country through the house. However, amongst all his work I recognised the unmistakable architecture of the Bailey & Cogger building that stands in the north end of our very own High Street.
There are only three more days to view the collection as the Open Studios close on Sunday for this year. I thoroughly recommend a visit ... it's really worth the trip and Nick will be on hand to give you a friendly welcome. No appointment is needed. Opening times and directions are set out in the link http://www.seos-art.org/artists/nickhebditch/
