Exhibitions
Spring Headline Exhibition
Fiona Sturrock
Fiona Sturrock joins us at The Biscuit Factory in March for a headline exhibition.
Fiona’s paintings demonstrate her love of colour; the practice of mixing colour, and laying down patterns of light, shade and texture to produce bold representations of her subjects. Expect a vibrant collection of still life and wildlife paintings.
Find out more about Fiona on the blog, and see her collection below.
Jim Moir
Knot Twister Prologue
Jim Moir (AKA Vic Reeves) returns to The Biscuit Factory this Summer with a brand new collection of original paintings. Those following Jim's career as an artist will be familiar with his breadth of work. From charming watercolours to expressive & bold oil paintings; his passion for nature is obvious in every composition, as are the unique characters of his subjects.
This, the fourth large-scale exhibition we've hosted with Jim, will see a selection of these familiar works, as well as some local scenes of the region. It's a show not to be missed, and presents another opportunity for art enthusiasts and Moir fans to add original pieces to their homes and collections
