Last week saw the opening of a fantastic new exhibition in The Greenfield Gallery here at Greenfield Arts: “Birds, Beasts and Other Friends” by Robert McManners. The exhibition is mainly comprised of a series of large scale illustrations by the artist, some of which are included in the book “St Cuthbert and the Animals” by Reverend John McManners, the artist’s brother. The illustrations are stunning and lifelike, capturing the essence of each animal and bird with great care.
Also included in the exhibition are some more recent portraits done by the artist, showing a new direction in his work. The exhibition is open Monday to Thursday 10am to 9pm, and Fridays 10am to 4pm from now until Wednesday 20th November. Plans are underway for a talk by Reverend McManners about his book and the work in the gallery, contact us for more information or see our website www.greenfield-arts.co.uk.
