This is a fantastic exhibition of the illustrator/artist Dave McKean's work with Jackie Attwood's box art.
Dave McKean shows a collection of drawings which has such varied mark making and texture alongside such imaginative inventiveness and feel for narrative. He also shows large mixed media pieces which incorporate photographs and thick paint. Jackie Attwood, as many of you know, is a technician at college. She completed an FdA Contemporary Crafts Practice some years ago and has since continued her practice creating beautiful and intriguing box art which evoke stories without ever quite pinning them down; they are subtle and intriguing.
Both artists are so impressive in not only the distinctness of their work but also the sheer size of their output.
The show is on until 7th October. Open each day except Tuesdays and also open Sunday afternoon.
