Join us to celebrate the opening of Tyne Gordon's Visitor in our Ground Floor Gallery and Jessie Rawcliffe's Close the Door When You Go in our Lux Gallery.

 

All welcome - come for the art, stay for a drink!

 

In Visitor, a liminal experience is created in the space between boundaries (domesticity, walls, corners, geometry) and expansion (wilderness, organic material, infinity, atmosphere, liquidity). Visitor is a continuation of Gordon’s interest in internal and external concepts of landscape and the body, seen through a ritualistic, alien lens.

 

Close the Door When You Go presents a new body of work by multidisciplinary artist and designer, Jessie Rawcliffe of Salt Lane Studios. Highlighting Rawcliffe’s ample skill with a fine brush, the exhibition showcases figurative paintings which set out to subtly challenge the historically submissive nature of women in portraiture.
