▶ LEZLIE TILLEY + MAJOR ARTISTS, MAJOR WORKS, OPENING 14 FEBRUARY

A solo exhibition by LEZLIE TILLEY and a group exhibition of our REPRESENTED ARTISTS will be on view starting Tuesday 14 February. Please join the Gallery and Artists for a celebratory drink on Saturday 18 February from 4-6pm.

Lezlie Tilley, 'Preface' 2011, laser cut acrylic

Lezlie Tilley's new exhibition Pages from an A-less Novel, is a strictly methodical body of work that exemplifies the labour-intensive process that is central to her practice. The series began with Tilley cutting out and then tracing each letter 'a' from a novel. She then replicates the dots exactly onto large sheets of paper, connecting them to create abstract geometric shapes that are laser cut in acrylic. This body of work started with Tilley designing and facilitating a mural project with the Newcastle Art School where her students worked freehand to reproduce compositions from this series onto large hoarding panels.

Robert Boynes, 'Night & Day' 2012, acrylic on canvas, timber - triptych, 120 x 244cm

Major Artists, Major Works will feature a significant artwork by each of the fourteen artists represented by the Gallery. Size is relative - for some, major may simply mean bigger than a shoebox, whereas for others it can entail the removal of the Gallery doors!
