Over the years Guildford and Freiburg artists have exhibited their works in each other's towns, usually in joint exhibitions. The most recent was a joint exhibition in Freiburg with three Guildford artists and five from Freiburg, while in 2019, five Freiburg artists and sculptors exhibited in Guildford. 

Nick makes sculptural objects 

from mundane and everyday

materials  as well as doing more

traditional drawings and paintings. 

See his website here.

This was the display of Nick's work at the Wonderlands exhibition.

John says, ”My work involves predominantly drawing,

additionally using and recycling found objects as

materials to construct stencils which I use in a variety

of ways...Experimentation remains the core element

of my working practice.”

Taka Rothenberg

Taka works in mixed media, particularly with textiles, producing large scale pictures made of appliquéd and painted fabric, which show the influences of her life and the various places she has lived and worked. An artist and writer, she was born in Japan, spent 50 years in the US with her American poet husband, creating and exhibiting her work, then moved to Guildford where she still, at over 90 years old, creates beautiful and unusual artworks.

Taka was represented in Freiburg by her daughter and granddaughter – the subject of one of her works, before the latter was born.
