Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves)
We welcome the work of comedian, actor, author and artist Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) for a solo exhibition 'Hot Buttered Mattress'.
This month long show features a myriad of real and imagined characters taken from popular culture as well as showcasing Jim's ornithological interest following the release of his 2021 book Birds. From the naive to the expressionist, his style and subject matter reflect a character of extremes; the artist and the performer, the humourist and the thinker.
See the available works from Jim's collection on the link below, or visit the gallery. Open daily 10 - 5 with free entry.

Valerie Wartelle
Valérie is a contemporary fine artist working with fibres and textiles. Taking the rural environment as her inspiration, she explores long-term interests of texture, colour, layering and process to create contemplative and ethereal wall hung artworks.
Valérie’s primary practice is wet felting; a traditional craft technique using wool tops, hot water, soapsuds and friction to interlock the fibres together. The compositions are built in layers in which cloth is embedded, prints disguised, and threads unravelled as a painter with her brush.
If you'd like to be kept up to date with new collection previews of these, or any other specific artists, please drop the gallery team a line at art@thebiscuitfactory.com
