Artist: Harleston & Waveney Art Trail (HWAT)

Artist: Mark Purllant Artist & Sculptor

Title: ‘Drawn to the Waveney’ Date: 23rd April - 16th May

Title: Action-Reaction - etchings, drawings, relief sculpture Date: 19th May - 20th June

A selection of work, previewing the Open Studios weekends of the Harleston and Waveney Art Trail, in late May. Bringing together, in one place the work of some 30 professional artists drawn from the length of the Waveney Valley from Bungay to Brockdish. This show provides an ideal opportunity to make your plans for longer studio visits and buy work before the masses descend.

Mark's work is very much a reactionary process, only attainable due to his skills in the arts, crafts, processes and materials. It’s clear that the sculptures, drawings and etchings are manifestations of feelings around his interest in the human form through sports, dance and martial arts. He doesn’t always set out to capture the movement, the explosiveness, or the relationships of forms and materials, it just seems to happen through “felt" abstraction and aesthetics.

Willem Defoe shines in this biopic, which focuses on the last years of Van Gogh’s troubled life, highlighting his friendship with Gauguin. It succeeds in capturing the essence of ‘now’, immersing the viewer in the physicality of Van Gogh’s painting. It does justice to the fiercely painful love between Gauguin and Van Gogh, but some of the best scenes are of Van Gogh confronting other human beings. His passion and frenzied inspiration overwhelm and astonish people, resulting in derision, suspicion and fear. Starring: Willem Defoe. Director: Julian Schnabel. Runtime: 111mins. 2018

Matinée Cinema - The 39 Steps (PG) Tuesday 23rd July, 1pm • £5, Dementia Friendly

This version of the story is not just a remake of the previous two films and, in being faithful to the book, it makes for a great movie. Robert Powell as Hannay is full of charisma and the action scenes have a touch of James Bond. The stalwart British cast give sterling support, the pace is deliciously fast and relentless, and both the mood and tone are exactly right. Starring: Robert Powell, David Warner, Eric Porter. Director: Don Sharp. Runtime: 1h 42 mins.1978
