UPCOMING EXHIBTION
The Whittox Gallery at RISE is excited to announce their next exhibition Light Water Rebellions - a solo show by abstract artist ROBIN SEWELL.
Robin creates worlds within his abstract works – universes even – that are rich with implied meanings and emotions. Making each painting is an act of exploration into the unknown, achieved with an array of singular machines and devices rather than traditional brushes. He invites the viewer to join him on his journeys of experimental discovery.
Preview Evening - Friday 16th September from 6.30pm until 9pm - All Welcome
Exhibtion opens on 17th September and will continue until November 6th.
The Gallery opening times are 9am until 4pm - Tuesday to Saturday - Free Admission
For more information about our gallery please go to The Whittox Gallery page, follow us on Instagram @thewhittoxgallery or look at the Calendar for upcoming exhibition details and opening times.
