Kurt Jackson: River

This exhibition, displayed from 27 March to 19 July 2010, contained a diverse selection of work by painter, Kurt Jackson - all based on projects inspired by rivers during the last 10 years.

Large pieces that have been painted in the open air were shown alongside smaller, more intimate works, sketchbooks and film footage to demonstrate his full creative process.

Paintings of UK and European rivers, including the Liffey in Ireland, the Thames, the Avon and the Dart featured alongside works based on the River Tamar.

The exhibition was backed by a number of events including holiday workshops, Art Bites tours and contemporary craft workshops for adults.
