Poly Pinch Pots - Poly Pottery Box

A Prehistoric Cornwall, the latest awe-inspiring exhibition from Kurt Jackson, arguably one of Britain’s most celebrated living landscape painters is now open to the public. This body of work sees Jackson visit the relics of prehistoric Cornwall, capturing the county’s extraordinary range of ancient monuments with a new series of paintings and sculpture. The landscape is full of these sites, some are obvious and picturesque - a stone circle - while others are hidden and overlooked, cut-off and smothered by dualcarriageways, roundabouts and car dealerships. All of these sites are an important and integral part of the Cornish landscape and its culture. A Prehistoric Cornwall is open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm until November 7th at the Jackson Foundation, St Just, Cornwall.
