Happy New Year from Black Swan Arts

Thank you for all your generous support in 2018

'Matter', Eleanor Bartlett

5 January – 9 February, Long Gallery 
 

Preview: Friday 4 January, 6-8pm -all welcome
Artist Q&A: Friday 1 February, 6-8pm

 

"In the sense of non-representation, the materials here carry the weight of the idea. The tar wax and metal paint are totally involved in the resolution of the painting, suggesting a democratic order of all form explicitly described in matter."
Eleanor will be giving an artists Q&A session where she invites you to discuss “Does art have to mean anything?”. The talk is free of charge and open to everyone.
