From oils to ceramics. Prints and sculptures

On Saturday I visited the local art gallery 

I was blown away with the current exhibition.

A display of over 200 works,  which is roughly 13% of their entire collection.  It is the most comprehensive public presentation of their permanent art collection ever staged.

It is displayed in order of how the collection evolved

Ceramic artwork 

This one has enormous appeal to me.  I’ve always been drawn to flaking painted wood, rust and paper

This one made me laugh.

I couldn’t see anything about the artist or the subject so when I go back on my second visit I’ll ask about it.
