This is a showcase of sensitively produced photography, each image expertly resolved.

The result is a body of work depicting landscape compositions that are richly atmospheric.

David Lunt exhibits a collection of paintings characterised by dramatic skies, bold pigments and ambiguous narratives.

This showcase explores the role of the painter in a post-digital age as Lunt creates work that blends the cinematic image, new technologies within painting, a love of landscape and a gothic sensibility.

Peter Slight:
29 September -

Peter Slight's work demonstrates a fascination with folktales and fables, 60s and 70s design, the woodlands and nature.

Here, he delivers an exhibition that is an imaginative playground inhabited by strange 3D beasties and illustrations that tell stories with real wit and warmth.
