Hello. Welcome to my latest newsletter. Time has flown by and it's now time for my second exhibition of the year. As a result, this is a quick update newsletter. I will send out a more detailed one after the exhibition.

The exhibition is at the Backlit Gallery in Nottingham from the 27th of May until the 3rd of June. The Private view is on Friday the 26th of May from 6 pm-9 pm.

I have not had a lot of time to see exhibitions with the exhibition in Nottingham looming but I did see an interesting exhibition last Friday at the Hastings ArtsForum Gallery featuring four artists. One is Tim Oakenfall, whose figurative abstraction I loved. Tim says " Ultimately, I’m creating paintings I would want on my wall". which might be why I bought one! The exhibition also features Nathalie Frost who is inspired by textiles and antique lace and also found objects including shells to create her art. And as she says "She aims to promote the use of stitched works/embroidery/craft as an art form". The other two artists are Mark Shepard whose work is inspired by the everyday and Richard Reinhardt a UK-based composer with a focus on ambient, experimental, and cinematic music. The exhibition is on until the 28th of May and is really worth a look.
So If I don't see you in Nottingham hopefully catch up with you soon.
Mark
