SUMMARY:Elusive Eric by Jane Hughes - author talk
DESCRIPTION:Jane Hughes will be talking with friend and author\, Felice Hardy\, about Jane’s new book\, ‘Elusive Eric’.\nAn old box containing a few family mementos included a photograph of a handsome young man\, named Eric\, dated 1935. On its reverse Eric had written a message to his sister. Even though it was known that he was a close relative\, no one knew anything about him. And so the quest began to discover his story – one of separation\, bravery\, recklessness – a gripping story of a young man’s determination to combat forces beyond his control. \nA poignant story of forced adoption\, the importance of home\, belonging\, and its generational repercussions. \nThe event is free but booking a place is essential – please book via this link. \nThis free author talk will take place in the Naval room\, upstairs at the Archangel and is organised by the Frome Writers Collective.\nDoors 7pm\nTalk 7.30-9pm

SUMMARY:Dual Natures Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Dual Natures brings together the paintings of Hannah Thomas and Genevieve Leavold in an exhibition that examines the duality inherent in both the natural world and human experience. Rooted in these tensions\, the exhibition explores the interplay between emotional and physical states\, conscious and unconscious impulses\, and the subjectivity of interpretation and visceral response in an audience. \nHannah Thomas’ practice is driven by an investigation into moral ambiguity and humanity’s conflicted relationship with nature. Through a semi-abstracted process\, with recurring potent motifs\, the resulting landscapes pulse with hints of predation. Through this lens\, nature is presented as a site of constant movement and adaptation\, where beauty and violence co-exist and identity remains unstable. \nGenevieve Leavold is predominantly known for her freeform\, organic paintings\, her reverence for spontaneous gesture draws from Zen\, Buddhism\, and other philosophies that embrace the concept of universal consciousness. Her approach is immediacy; working wet colour into wet and layering glazes gives her work its recognisable softness and movement.. Characterised by sweeping forms emerging from a dark background\, her paintings developed from observations of nature in man-made environments. \nBoth artists have paintings in collections in the UK and abroad and have exhibited extensively worldwide. \nDual Natures invites viewers to reflect on the contradictions that shape our understanding of self and environment\, and on the uneasy balance between attraction and repulsion that defines humanity’s relationship with the natural world. \nBoth artists have work held in private and corporate collections worldwide and have exhibited widely in the UK\, US and Europe. \nPrivate View: Thursday 26th February 5pm – 9pm\nArtist Talk: Saturday 28th Feb 10am (45mins) Ticketed £5\nExhibition Opening Hours: 11am – 6pm
