Mary Blue - Melusina this June

Mary Blue Surfaces at Cromer Artspace with Melusina this June Blue’s poignantly evocative water paintings invite us to look deeper. Her paintings reflect upon the impermanence of life and the forces of nature. Quoting Sir David Attenborough, “There is no doubt that human beings are having a profound impact on the marine environment. From pollution to climate change to overfishing, we are gradually eroding away at the health of our oceans. How we tackle these threats is a difficult but important question.” Blue’s painterly, imaginative exhibition is a must-see for summer 2025! Her new work presents a view of sea-level rise that’s grounded in the folktale Melusina. In the newly refurbished Art Deco Cromer Artspace on the Prom, West Promenade, Cromer, NR27 9FA from June 12th to the 24th 2025 from 11am to 4 pm. Mary’s work viscerally highlights sea-level rise. When entering the gallery you arrive along the waterline where the sea meets the land. As you progress deeper into the gallery, your perspective shifts, transfiguring to an underwater view. We have known for decades that the Earth’s climate is warming and coastal terrain around the globe are loosing ground as humankind is gambling away the prospects of a liveable future for present and future generations. Blue’s perspective is relevant, now more than ever.
