Inkfolk Program Thursday 23rd August 5pm – 11pm Exhibition Opening. This exhibition will bring together the paintings of Petra Mccarthy and Stephen Millar. Petra Mccarthy is based in Hebden bridge and will be showing some large scale pieces. Using colour and mark-making techniques, she layers the work and then uses perspex on top to to complete images in her own unique expressionist and abstract style. Stephen Millar is based in Belfast. His paintings come somewhere between abstraction and caricature. His work makes use of the interplay between image and text, often for satirical ends. The exhibition will run for the full four days. Friday 24th August 5pm – 11pm This will be an excellent chance to come and check us out for the first time, or re-visit us and appreciate the artwork with a drink and good music. Saturday 25th August 1pm – 1am - Halcyon Saturday daytime will be a continuation of the gallery exhibition and café/bar.

Inkfolk Program

Thursday 31st May 5pm – 11pm

Exhibition Opening : In Our Nature - Kris Tate and Charlotte Mellor Meecham

Inkfolk’s first exhibition brings together work from two artists, one who works with the human image and another who creates images of animals. This comprises a mutual theme whereby the human and animal worlds are not considered as separate but are linked together through the use of decorative motifs. Traditionally, decorative patterns included abstracted forms which linked the human to the habitat and this was seen as part of their identity. In this case the pattern is more ambiguous, derived from a sense that the visual image has become part of what structures our world.
Despite the interest of both artists in decorative motifs, the working methods of each artist differs, one displaying the sophistication of digital technologies, one relying upon the imprecision of the marks of the hand. Yet both artists gather materials and techniques together as a kind of visual remix. Photo-montage, painting and illustration combine, a contemporary response to a deep-rooted fascination with decorative pattern. These works reappraise the traditional and celebrates the anonymous faces of history whose identity remains unknown.
