SUMMARY:Nexus exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Nexus brings three artists together for a diverse exhibition of work\, examining different styles that share commonalities through their collective interpretation of colour\, composition\, and form. \nThis exhibition combines different approaches to contemporary art under one roof. Influenced by our individual experiences and ways of portraying the world\, Mark Elliott Smith\, Bernard Charnley and Kate Cochrane\, collaborate and provoke our perspectives and insights into specific genres. \nMark Elliott Smith’s work brings something new to abstraction. Inspired by dance and costume\, mediaeval art\, and his response to music\, he builds images which are analogues of the process of construction and destruction\, fragmentation and coherence. Painting in layers of flat acrylic colour\, his work animates space while creating the illusion of depth\, imparting an energising\, positive sense of possibility through his playful use of colour and form. \nBernard Charnley combines layered oil paint with oil bars and inserted sections of canvas\, creating work which moves between abstraction and figuration\, examining the relationships between geometry\, surface\, depth\, and illusion as imprints of the human. His interest in philosophy informs his portfolio of work\, which reflects on the nature of social fracture. \nKate Cochrane works in a variety of media\, including oils\, acrylics\, gouache\, and dry pastels. Taking inspiration from landscape\, trees\, rocks\, castle ruins and reflections in water\, her process of creating paintings\, along with wanting to express how she feels\, results in a rich tapestry of colour and texture. \n3 Aug – 13 Sept \nOpen: Sun – Tue / 9 – 5pm\nOpen: Wed – Sat / 9 – 9pm

SUMMARY:Illyria: Pinocchio
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world\, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883\, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet\, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away\, but instead of excitement\, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. \nHe returns home\, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful\, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show. \nThis performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets\, cushions\, and chairs. We welcome picnics\, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather\, this event will move inside. \nRunning time: 95 minutes including interval\nRecommended: 5+\nTickets: £18 | Child: £10 | Students and those claiming financial assistance: £14\nRegistered carers go free
