ARTEL is a group of professional artists who collaborate to exhibit their work whilst establishing a dynamic community. Working in the South Downs area, each artist has developed a unique and informed practice. The artwork from this covers a rich and diverse range of subjects and media shared through an annual show in Chichester at the Oxmarket Contemporary gallery. The next show is 13-25 October 2026.

THE SPACE BETWEEN - 2025

Isabel Dodson B.A. DRSAM.

Title: Between I


Harbours are fascinating places. 

Bosham, once a busy port has a rich history: the 
Romans, Canute, Harold…. 
No longer of such importance it remains 
a place for comings and goings.
Boats, mostly small. Mostly pleasure. 
Buoyed, tied, high and dry, hauled up 
waiting……..
Waiting for tide, wind, weather…..

Waiting for excitement, adventure, the 
unknown……..
Arrivals dock, anchor, tether.…   
Fresh eyes, new perspectives.

For the theme ‘The Space Between’ Isabel has incorporated newsprint into Bosham-inspired 
seascapes to explore our relationship between dissonance and quiet, manmade and nature, hopes and dreams.
