Journeys Near And Far

While the gallery at the Town Hall is currently closed to visitors, we have put together an online exhibition of the work of four artists:
Katharine Holmes, Brian Hindmarch, Christine Leadbetter and Milan Ivanic.  In the forthcoming weeks images and information about their work will be sent out in our newsletters.

While online images cannot reproduce an actual visit to a gallery if you are interested in discussing a particular artwork please do telephone mobile: 07799797961 or email: [email protected]

The title of the exhibition is one which captures an aspect of the present global situation.

As travel has become restricted many of us have discovered or rediscovered walks close to home and have been able to spend time watching the wildlife around us in gardens and parks. The view from the window or the local landscape of the north of England is depicted in the work of Brian Hindmarch, Katharine Holmes and Milan Ivanic, but they have also painted and printed images of journeys to more distant locations they have previously visited.

Christine Leadbetter’s series of jewel like miniatures came about following a trip to India in November 2019.

I took sketchbooks, notepads, pencils and pastels. During the day I made notes and took photos only having time to sketch on rooftops of our ‘homestays’ some evenings.

Samples of work still available from this Exhibition. For more work available by each artist, click on their name above.
