Dangerous Bodies narratives a multitude of characters from within a techno-humanity era. These disembodied entities are coming to terms with their own being. Barbara Kapusta’s protagonist(s) are one and are many, they are parts obscuring the centre, the partial body that speaks for a whole that cannot or does not want to be imagined as […]
Tongue-tied is a collection of mute tongues that emit no words but communicate through pigment and shape in this exhibition by Hayley Newman. Static and singular, they divulge, bare and reveal. One vulnerable, another bold; ventriloqual expressions of cadence and timbre, of pattern, patter and the patois of speech.
Rosa is an exhibition of roses illustrated by RHS gold medallist Janie Pirie. This is a new body of botanical art to coincide with the launch of a book of the same name. Having had a love of roses from early childhood Janie was inspired to illustrate those that had a name connected to her […]
Sue Campion’s pastels are drawn paintings. Using sandpaper as a base, the pastels catch the rough surface, creating texture and layers of pigment, giving a similar quality to paint. Her landscapes are mainly of Shropshire, where she lives and works, and Spain where she lived for many years. The earthiness of the Shropshire hills, contrast […]

‘Variations on a theme’ refers to the ways in which these three artists: Chloe Freemantle, Janet Patterson and Ruth Stage, select from the various sources that feed their imagination; choose the form of language with which to express themselves so as to enable the metamorphosis from idea to painted object, in three different painting styles.
This exhibition, a project that has been over a year in the making, is closely connected with Nina Pandolfo herself – a reflection of her personal experiences and the vibrantly multicultural world around her.
