SUMMER OF LARGE PAINTINGS
As we scan the wide horizons of summer landscapes and seascapes, we naturally scale up our ways of seeing, from a restrictive window on the world to being immersed in physicality and in the spirit.
This fine exhibition of paintings is largely about largesse. Definitely not little things above a mantlepiece!, rather of artists courageously facing the dynamics of 'the arena’.

what is seen, experienced and known into unique statements, artists works are original

PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION by BARRY COOK
Celebrating his 70th year, Todmorden artist Barry Cook presents a vibrant solo exhibition inspired by Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Colorful mixed media paintings and 3D works fill Water Street Gallery with energy and imagination.
Explore scenes like the bustling marketplace, the Ox Cart, the Great Gate of Kiev, and Baba Yaga’s bizarre chicken-legged clock. Barry’s art captures vivid characters, rich settings, and the mythical essence of Poland, Paris, Rome, and Russia. Atmospheric, amusing, and occasionally unsettling—this is narrative art at its finest.
