An exhibition of new works by Roy, Neil & Claire Sparkes. This is the first show by father, son and daughter together. All three artists have exhbited widely in the UK and abroad.

Roy Sparkes has been exhibiting paintings since the 1960's, exploring textures, surfaces and the continuous process of painting.

Dynamic abstract interpretations of landscape, sea and coastlines influence the new paintings in this exhibition.

Neil Sparkes is an artist, poet and musician (Transglobal Underground/ Temple of Sound). His new works reflect his passion for found objects.

Line, colour and collecting inform and inspire his art. Intricate and iconic imagery celebrates the world which we inhabit.

Claire Sparkes is an artist, illustrator and tutor of art.

Her work explores fluidity, interconnection and the energy or points of essential being within people and other living physical forms.
