Keith Hayman: Regeneration

ChristopeDillingerL573D5

Christophe Dillinger

Having worked mainly with digital media, this new series of work sees Christophe returning to traditional picture-making techniques, often using lo-fi cameras and outdated film. The inherent frailty of this equipment is transferred to the photographs, which are often blurred, scratched and saturated. It is the mood, rather than the immediate representation of the subject that forms this body of work. These photographs include experimental works involving multiple exposure and film techniques.

PatSemple5

Patrick Semple

All is decidedly not what it appears - the remains of a ceremony whose meaning is lost, fragments of lives much like our own - Patrick Semple’s hybrid artworks, collections of bones and torn photographs, shift between the sublime and the absurd...

Friday 9 May ­ Sunday 15 June

LauraReader

Laura Reader

Local artist Laura Reader combines abstraction and landscape in her painting, using silhouettes to create contrast and drama. Her landscapes are inspired by her extensive travels and the Shropshire countryside.

Café Gallery


 

Friday 20 June - Sunday 27 July

AbstractEdgeThelmaAyers

Abstract Edge

Abstract Edge is a group of ten artists. Some of their work is semiabstract, taking landscape or an organic form as starting point. Other images are purely abstract - engaging in their own right.

Friday 20 June - Sunday 27 July

ValAlexanderPoppies

Valerie Alexander

Valerie Alexander is a local artist whose work has received recognition on a national level. She paints a variety of subjects in watercolour, two recurring themes being floral compositions and local landscape, but she would say that the true subject of all her work is light.
