Retreat to the North

John Allcock

Preview Friday 1st February 7 - 9pm

In February 2007 I undertook a "retreat" in remote Northumberland.

The result of was a series of studies of rock formations in the area around Bellingham. They convey something of the drama and raw energy of the landscape, as well as capturing the sense of re-awakening and invigoration of that encounter.

Each unit 9 artist wrapped an object that had some significance to them and placed it anonymously in a box. They then took one of the other wrapped objects themselves.

ABOUT FACE
new paintings by

Patricia Calver

Saturday 5th May- Sunday 27th May 2007

Preview Friday 4th May7 - 9pm

This series of paintings is a search for a visual language, in order to depict the faces of three people who are dear to me. Each time I paint, everything I know about painting becomes irrelevant again… as I come to terms with this, I realise this is once again about my own ageing and letting go.
