Four Mini Solo Exhibitions - Four Times the Fun

The new gallery space, and specialised exhibition zone, has allowed us to increase our exhibition size and the way we execute them.
This April, we have not one, not two, but four artists with solo exhibitions running simultaneously.

 

 

Making Shapes - Debra Powell aka Little Betty

Debra Powell is one of our most popular artists due to her quirky and eccentric ceramic sculptures.

In ‘Making Shapes’ Debra has pushed her skills and techniques creating fifteen incredible vessels and vases.

A little different from the sculptures she is know for, the vessels are functional but still showcase her humour and playfulness: 13 of the vessels have incredible illustrations that range from sweet to creepy cute.

The remaining two vases showcase Debra’s technical skills.

 

 

Ratbags & Birdbrains - Robyn Lees-West aka Textile Taxidermy

I often wonder what custom officials think when they x-ray packages from Robyn Lees-West. The life size replicas of birds and rodents just about always require the boxes to be opened.

Imagine the look on their faces when instead of the taxidermy animals they suspect, they find fabric life-size birds wearing hats or in this particular exhibition playing cards, and rats in fancy dress.

 

 

After The Sea Took Over - Evan Heasman aka Soju Shots

There is something remarkably touching about Evan Heasman’s latest series of works, ‘After The Sea Took Over’.

Perhaps it is because we are normally exposed to disastrous outcomes if the oceans rose and this series has a sense of serenity and hope. Or maybe it is Evan’s ability to create seemingly naive works with complex narratives. 

Eight new works from the artist showcase what would happen ‘After The Sea Took Over’.

 

 

Beast Profiles - Tommaso D’Incalci aka Fuoco Fatuo

Italian artist Tommaso D’Incalci has taken pen to paper creating a series of anthropomorphic portraits.

Each work is just 15cm square, but the small size doesn’t restrict the illustrator. Each tells a story, maybe that of a swashbuckling foxy pirate or a scholarly hare.

Mixing and matching the characters allows the viewer to create their own story.

 

 

The four exhibitions open 8 April 2025 online and in the gallery.
