Beverley Art Gallery and the Treasure House are delighted to present two new exhibitions to the area, which will be on show until 11 April.
Beverley Art Gallery presents an exhibition curated by the Mall Galleries in London, called Still Alive: The Contemporary Still Life.
The exhibition, featuring works by internationally recognised artists, offers a survey of contemporary still life painting.
The exhibition explores time-honoured themes such as the fragility of human life in Sam Dalby’s Skull and Bottles and the futility of regret in David Cobley’s Spilt Milk.
The exhibition also addresses contemporary subjects including pub grub and party shoes and demonstrates that still life painting remains an enduring and challenging art form.
If you would like to get creative and discover more about still life painting, join artist and author, Daphne Hicks, for her Still Life Workshop on Saturday, 28 February from 10am-2pm at the Treasure House. Beginners will be offered a step-by-step guide.
Tickets for the workshop cost £12 and can be booked ONLINE or by calling (01482) 392699.
Also at the Treasure House is the new exhibition Eating In: A Celebration of Cooking and Dining at Home. This looks at what we eat, the influence of other cultures on British food and the way our diet affects our health and lives. It explores how time, trends and technology have altered where our food comes from, whether it’s the wild, the garden, the shop, the supermarket or online.
