Exhibition explores remnants of town’s industrial past

Stroud-based artist Benedict Welch will present a solo exhibition titled 'Sites of Work' at the Chapels of Rest in Bisley Cemetery from July 4th to 13th, with a private view on July 3rd. The show features 12 large oil paintings (100 x 80 cm) that explore the industrial remnants of Stroud's landscape—canals, mills, capstans, and overlooked spaces—created using digitally stitched photographs as starting points for works that embrace visible revisions and shifts in scale.

Artists celebrate ‘overlooked beauty’ of Severnside town

An art exhibition titled 'overLOOKed' opens tomorrow at Luggs Farm in Sharpness, Gloucestershire, featuring works by eight artists inspired by the Sharpness Dock area. Curated by mixed media artist Lynda Knott, the show runs from Thursday until Bank Holiday Monday and is part of the Severn Vale Art Trail, supported by the Canal and River Trust. Artists include Angela Williams, Clare Stephens, Grant Sonnex, Lynda Knott, Nick Quirke, Martin Clarke, Shirley Sharp, and Zachary Knott, with a guided 'Mindful Photography' walk scheduled for May 2nd.
