We are truly pleased to invite you to the opening event of our first new exhibition for 2022.
On Friday 18th of February from 6.30-8.30pm we are opening our doors to celebrate
‘Through Time We Tumble but Tales Remain’ by Dianne Bowell.
The show pulls together a whole new body of work produced by Dianne during (and because of) the last two years of the pandemic lockdowns.
Focusing on the mythic, folkloric and fantastic, her works cavort through imaginary childhoods laced with magic, languorous and sensual retellings of familiar tales such as Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and images that have a fascinating and familiar feel, though never encountered before.
There is a lavish and deliberate use of complimentary colours, gold leaf, layers of glazing and varnish to produce narratives trapped delicately beneath the surface which reveal themselves with each viewing. A truth desperate to be told.
The show is visually joyous, optimistic but also laced with pathos for the human condition and the characters trapped within.
There is a rare magic within these works.
As always the opening will have an amazing array of refreshments provided by our wonderful gallery partners
Café Zero.
So please come along and enjoy this exquisite celebration of Dianne’s work.
