HORIZONS

An exhibition of paintings with photographs by Jennifer Blant, Paul Bowering and Andy Cole. The paintings range from abstract and semi-abstract to representational, exploring both the subtleties and the startling contrasts of colour and form, within urban, rural and island contexts. Not to be missed.

IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT

The human eye can only see certain colours but now infrared photography opens up a whole new  spectrum. Now we can see things in a new light, an ‘invisible light’. These unique and surreal images of local scenes can now be seen as never before. Captured by local photographer Alan Fernihough, they open a window on a parallel world intriguingly different to the one we usually see.
Open evening Saturday 5th. July - 7.30pm – 9.30pm Open Gallery
