Raul Speek

Raul is exhibiting at Haverfordwest Library from 3 June to 2nd July 2007.   The exhibition will be titled 'Flowers for Peace' and will include previously unseen works exploring the simplicity of nature in a world which has otherwise begun to move into chaos and war.

On the 27 and 28 June Raul will be holding workshops at the library which are arranged and funded by the Pembrokeshire Arts Officer Christine Willison.   If you would like to participate in these please ring Christine on 01437 775240.  In previous years these workshops have proved very popular with both individuals and school parties so please ring in plenty of time.

Most of January and February were taken up with finishing the mural surrounding a swimming pool in Pembrokeshire.  This began as a continuous image which covered two walls of the pool  but the owner then decided he wanted the other two walls created in the same style.   The images here show both the finished works and some details of this.

In early February 2007 Raul and Heather went to Venice for the annual Carnival.   The visual input of this and the beauty of Venice itself have created a store of imaginative energy which is finding expression in current works

November and December 2006

Several commissions have been completed including 'Alice in Wonderland'  

Negotiation has been completed and work started on  a 52 foot mural around two sides of a private swimming pool in Pembrokeshire.        Progress pictures will appear monthly: this one shows the first day's work which created sky and cloud backgrounds on the end wall.

.Completion of murals in the kitchen of Raul Speek Gallery have led to much interest and requests for similar works in domestic locations - Raul will soon have to be cloned to keep up with the volume of works required!!  

Our Small Works Gallery has proved very succesful and will now form a permanent aspect of Raul's exhibited work - images in the on-line gallery will be update during January 2007.
