‘Distant Shores’ Martin Goold Solo Exhibition Memory has played a significant part in the making of the new paintings for this exhibition. 2020 brought some changes to my working pattern and the thinking behind it, not least the restrictions to travel changed the way I gather references and inspiration. In this altered and very strange environment I found myself returning to old sketchbooks and travel notebooks; these records of places visited back through years have presented a new direction for work. The veil of time changes things and what is remembered can become quite subjective and personalised. Tuesday to Saturday 10-5pm.

Three Miles Square and a Window: Andy Rollo and Corrina Cooper This exhibition at Sou’-Sou’-West Arts Gallery brings together Corrina Cooper and Andy Rollo; two artists whose creative practice engages with the everyday, the fractured and broken, the beauty of nature, colour and light. Their still life and landscape paintings continue the modernist tradition of exploring the juxtaposition of abstract and realist elements, gaining inspiration from artists such as Charles Rennie Macintosh and Randall David Tipton. All the work being exhibited was produced during the pandemic and consequently reflect the restrictions of movement and confinement within small spaces. Both artists, however, do so with a sense of hope for the future by celebrating what is in close proximity to us all. Open daily from 10.30-4.30.

July 24 - August 14

than life pastel and oil paintings of plants show us that the flower’s stillness is simply a momentary suspension of movement in a mysterious and unceasing journey from one form, one landscape, to another.
