Sunday afternoon @ the Gallery

Sunday 24 June at 3pm
Wendy Sharpe’s self-portrait is inspired by Victorian-era photographs which featured ghostly figures. Wendy will talk about the interpretations made from these images  and her interest in exploring the seen and unseen in her work. With a background in street art, Luke Cornish works with aerosol and multiple layers of stencils to create works  deep in meaning, depicting accurately rendered and highly evocative representations of their subject.

Kevin McKay will be joined by his sitter, the artist Jumaadi, for a discussion on artist’s portraits of other artists.

Sunday 22 July at 3pm
