War & Peace

On Saturday 11th June, from 1-3pm we are officially launching a new show entitled War and Peace, by the Artist Kevin Weaver.

Kevin is an astonishing artist based in Cumbria who works in painting and other media to produce works that deal with quite profound subject matter.  There are particularly two strands that run through this show, one dealing with Kevin’s traumatic time spent as a war reporter for such papers as the Independent, the Guardian and The New Statesman and the other thread concentrates on his love of Landscape and the beauty and power of Nature.

The show is a very powerful dialogue between these two aspects of the world and is handled with a humanistic and thoughtful approach.

It really is a ‘must see’ exhibition.

We are also really pleased to be launching another show in our Upstairs space by Local Artist Shaun Eliott, featuring his vibrant, urban and idiosyncratic work on found and recycled material.
