Estepona City Council announces that Room 2 of the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in Plaza de las Flores, will host British artist Wendy Tong's painting exhibition, "The Goblin of the Cork Oaks," from October 2 to 15.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Tuesday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with free admission.
Wendy Tong was born in England in 1961. Coming from a working-class family, she had to start working at 16 instead of attending art school, as was her dream.
Having lived and worked in Spain for the past 20 years, she recently completed an online BA Hons degree in Painting with the OCA, Nottingham, UK (now part of The Open University).
Her first solo graduate exhibition, 'The Alchemy of Landscape', was held at Casa Henrietta, in the Cádiz town of Jimena de la Frontera, in February/March 2025.
All of Wendy's work is inspired by the beautiful natural landscape surrounding Jimena de la Frontera, in the Los Alcornocales Natural Park, which she sees on her daily walks. Her goal is to describe the colors and patterns found there, and to walk the line between the abstract and the figurative, to showcase them.
Memory and emotion play an important role, and he seeks to show the intense colors he reacts to in the rocks and landscape. Some of his works are more representative than others. Overall, his desire is to show this local landscape, seen from a slightly different perspective.
