EXHIBITION & EVENTS ARCHIVE
‘Earthen Shades’ – Shanti Panchal
16/09/1988An exhibition of sensitive paintings by Shanti Panchal, whose distinctive watercolours once seen, can never be forgotten. His work focuses on the various events of his childhood that took place in rural Gugarat in Western India.
Stephen Cooper & Mary Wood
20/02/1987Castlefield Gallery rather sticks its neck out in the claims it makes for artists who are given exhibitions – that when selecting shows what it seeks is work of the highest quality. The large, brightly coloured abstract paintings and drawings in this exhibition are no exception.
‘Paintings & Drawings’ – Eileen Cooper
23/05/1986Eileen Cooper’s large oil paintings and charcoal drawings deal incessantly with personal relationships. She says that her ideas tend to cone out in an unpredictable way through the activity of painting, but there is a fascination with the bond between mother and child through out her work.
Vanessa Jackson & Hamish McLennan
10/10/1986Vanessa Jackson often sounds more like a sculptor than a painter when talking about her own work. She refers to ‘whittling away’, ‘carving out’, and ‘polishing into existence’, when describing how the dynamic shapes evolve. She enjoys doing woodblock prints for the reason that in these, the compositions really can be carved out.
‘New York Thoughts’ – Fabian Peake
10/01/1986The New Year starts at the Castlefield Gallery with an exhibition of recent work by Fabian Peake, entitled “New York Thoughts”, which runs from the 10th January – 16th February 1986.
These brightly and imaginatively coloured paintings and gouaches were inspired by the artist’s recent visit to the States.
‘Sculptures’ – Jeff Lowe
28/02/1986The most striking feature of Jeff Lowe’s work is his interest in African carvings, which he esteems as some of the most remarkable sculptures ever produced. He is strongly influenced by it’s formal language: the subtle shifting angles, the inclination of figure pieces, the precise definition of levels and the contrast between the lavish decoration and solidity of such art works.
‘Sculpture & Drawings’ – Michael Lyons & Brian Fell
21/12/1984This exhibition at the Castlefield Gallery brings together work by two sculptors with close associations with each other, and with the city of Manchester.
Marilyn Hallam, Geoff Hollow & Paul Tonkin
22/11/1985The next exhibition at Castlefield gallery is running from 22 November to 21 December, features the work of three artists, whose very different approaches to painting will produce an interesting and challenging show.
‘Recent Painting’ – Mali Morris
12/07/1985This exhibition at Castlefield Gallery brings recent work of the highly regarded painter Mali Morris to the North West.
Nigel Mullan, Gillian Ord & Andy Thomson
