Artwave West is proud to present “Echoes of the Past,” a solo exhibition by the highly talented artist,

Sophie Capron.

Running from 2nd – 30th November, this compelling show invites viewers to explore the interplay of memory, history, and transformation through Capron’s innovative use of reclaimed materials.

Sophie Capron’s artistic process is rooted in sustainability and the profound narratives embedded in old paint. Using paint donated from various sources, she meticulously layers and sands her works, revealing the stories hidden within. Each stroke and texture tells a tale, echoing the past while engaging with contemporary themes of renewal and change.

Capron’s technique of building up layers and then sanding them down not only creates depth but also symbolises the passage of time and the way memories can fade yet remain impactful. The resulting pieces are rich in both visual and emotional complexity, inviting viewers to reflect on their own connections to the past.

“Echoes of the Past” is not just an exhibition; it is an experience that challenges us to consider the histories we carry with us and how they shape our present. Capron’s work resonates with those interested in the relationship between art, environment, and memory, making it a must-see for art lovers and enthusiasts alike.

Sophie be in the gallery on 2nd November 10:30am – 12:30pm, where attendees can meet her and gain insight into her creative process. The gallery invites everyone to engage with this thought-provoking collection and discover the beauty that arises from repurposed materials.’
