14 Feb — 11 Mar 2017
Newlyn Art Gallery
ON SHOW IN THE PICTURE ROOM
This collection of tiny works is an abstract observation of bearded faces – each has a story which forms their identity, and the way each wears their beards enhances this identity.
“Recently, at a festival, I was amused by a barber’s stand where the main pursuit was pognotrophy – the art of cultivating and grooming beards. Why has the beard once again become so fashionable?” asks Shelly.
With an emphasis on affordable works The Picture Room at Newlyn Art Gallery offers the opportunity to buy paintings, prints and drawings by some of the region’s most recognised artists. All profits from sales directly help to support the gallery’s education and exhibition activities.
join us for the closing party of Shelly Tregoning’s Picture Room exhibition, and the chance for an evening viewing of the final week of this year’s Transition, featuring Ali Corder & Elizabeth Loveday, and Jo Ball.
Friday 10 March, 18.00 – 20.00 with food from Little Wonder Cafe and pay bar.
All welcome.
