28th February 2025 – The Colour Rooms
The Tide Arrives, Robert Allen’s latest exhibition, made its debut at The Colour Rooms, Jersey’s newest art gallery in Beaumont. Marking the gallery’s first solo show, the exhibition showcased a striking new body of work created specifically for the occasion. Guests at the opening night on February 28th enjoyed a drinks reception while immersing themselves in Allen’s evocative depictions of Jersey’s coastline.
With a background in sculpture and drawing, Allen’s work captures the raw energy of the island’s landscapes, from the rugged cliffs of Corbière to the bustling fishing boats of Gorey Harbour. His expressive use of colour and texture brings to life the sensation of standing within these environments – feeling the salt spray, the shifting light, and the contours of rock and sand. Running until March 27th, The Tide Arrives offered visitors a powerful interpretation of Jersey’s ever-changing shoreline through the eyes of a seasoned plein air painter.
