✨ Stephen Pinnell - The Cunning of 10000 Little Kittens

Looking back at the last decade and a half's work by Stephen Pinnell, we see an artist seeking to construct a visual language from found objects, clipped quotations and images taken from a multitude of sources. His influences range from Robert Rauschenberg to T. S. Eliot and David Shrigley.

Variously described as paintings, collages or assemblages, the work is underpinned by Pinnell's sense that the shared visual frameworks that once anchored meaning have become increasingly untenable in contemporary Western culture.

Make sure you visit this exhibition next month to find out more!

✨ Claire Murray - A Light to my Path

Claire is an expressive painter based in Fletcher's Mill, Dean Clough, who has been painting for 37 years.

"I have been painting the landscape for many years now, and my last exhibition in 2025/26 was titled 'Grounded', a reference to the natural and elemental appearance of the earth and our environments.

In this exhibition, 'A Light to my Path', I explore the earthly and spiritual aspects more deeply, searching ideas of lightness and darkness using landscape as a metaphor."

To find out more about Claire's work, visit her exhibition opening later this month.

Royal Navy World War Two veteran Henry Rice recently celebrated his 100th birthday and resident artist, Ric Coulson was privileged to create a very special metal display Poppy for him.

The centre features a Royal Naval button from a uniform from the period and is a unique and personal way to remember both service and sacrifice.

Henry was a naval signalman aboard HMS Eastney during the Normandy Campaign, a landing ship working off Juno beach to provide men and equipment.

His son Stuart speaking on his Dad's behalf says “Please pass on Dad's grateful thanks to the talented artist who created the Poppy for his 100th Birthday. The finishing touch of the Navy button is so touching and appreciated. Rest assured, it will be displayed and treasured."
