Patricia Oxley - Work in Process

PosterAn exhibition by Patricia Oxley of paintings,drawing and digital prints.

Patricia’s method involves life drawings and paintings made with traditional media. Some of this traditionally produced work is then digitally enhanced or perhaps merged with other images and used to produce paintings which are in turn enhanced and merged to create something new. Hence the image is never stable, but always in a state of being processed, on the way to being made larger, more visible. The result is a vibrant mixture of what’s immediately visible to the human eye and what is not, sometimes recognisable, sometimes abstract, but always interesting.

Simon Sugden - The Beauty In Decay

Poster LTW LRIn our first show of 2020, Trapezium Gallery was thrilled to present a photographic exhibition by Simon Sugden, from Keighley. His work focuses on old and abandoned architectural sites around Bradford. The photographs feature old mills and attractions way past their prime and devoid of human activity, but with an eerie sense of a forgotten time. Although these places stand forlorn, no longer maintained, the photographs capture another side to the process of dereliction, which is the beauty wrought by nature and the elements as they reclaim these sites. They appear galvanised, redeemed. This may be an illusion but is testament to the skill of the photographer who depicts scenes bathed in warm light and vivid colour.
