Tim Vivian - 'More Places Made Special'

Thursday 13th November to Wednesday 3rd December

The exhibition comprises work done over the last two years.  Each painting emanates from a natural subject observed; engagement starts with a drawing and/or a photograph.  Later in the studio I seek how to celebrate the subject, why it fascinates me.  If successful the result will be an abstraction and as much a celebration of the free use of oil paint as of the original subject.

BBC Test Match Special commentator Henry Blofeld is undoubtedly the current "voice of cricket" and he continues to be one of the best loved characters in the game.

"Blowers", as he is affectionately known, is as famous for his musings on pigeons, planes, double decker buses, tea ladies, cakes and his catchphrase ‘My dear old thing' as he is for his cricket commentary.
