‘Unique Artwork for Christmas’ – preview

The work came from the five members of Gallery at 12 in Eccleshall.
Gallery – Agreeing to Differ
Agreeing to Differ – Exhibition 29th September – 11th November
An exhibition of paintings by David Hunt and Erica Brook.
This exhibition, largely covering Leek and the Moorlands, is a presentation of strong contrast, inviting question and comment about the working processes of two practicing painters, who have committed their lives to painting.
What is it, if anything, these two painters have in common?
What happens during their development to persuade them to follow such different paths?
How can they enjoy delighting in difference when there seems to be more that could divide them in terms of argument and work?
Foxlowe Arts Centre Preview Evening 7.00-9.00 Friday 29th September 2017.
Meet the Artists.
David and Erica will be discussing their approaches to their work in the Gallery on the evening of Wednesday October 11th. Gallery will be open at seven, with discussion commencing at 7.30, to conclude about 9.00 pm.

The Human Form in 2 and 3 Dimensions exhibition: Saturday 8th July – 12th August
This exhibition includes works by Charles Walker, Nick Grew and David Walton. Charles, who runs a series of Life Drawing groups, is an award winning artist. He states that life drawing and painting and portraiture have never lost their appeal. He said: “What a privilege to be the artist in that situation. I try simply to respond to the challenge the person sitting for me in an honest and colourful way.”
Nick, an Associate of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, is a sculptor who works mainly in clay cast, into bronze or resin. His work includes portraiture, figurative and abstracted works, with the latter based on the human figure and emotions. He said: “I’m inspired by the beauty and complexity of the human face, body and anatomy and how this expresses the intensity and depth of human thought, feeling and experience.”
