Michael Armitage:
Paradise Edict
13 March to 6 June
Standing face-to-face with Michael
Armitage’s colourful, dream-like
paintings [The Paradise Edict, right]
is surely the best way to decipher the
many loaded messages within, and
now you can with these 15 works from
the Kenyan-born, British-trained artist.
Powerful expressions of cruelty,
love, civil unrest and sexuality, his
works challenge cultural assumptions
and prove why he is one of the most
exciting figurative painters alive
today. Hand-picked paintings by the
East African artists who have had a
profound impact on Armitage’s own
artistic development will also feature.

Facing the Sun
3 April to 5 June
The Gaia Paradigm
proposes that all living
and non-living things on
earth are connected. For
a fine art representation
of these principles, let us
present Penryn-based
Kitty Hillier and her new
collection of two- and
three-dimensional
artwork. Expect
large-scale paintings
comprised of layers of
overlapping biomorphic
shapes, with
recognisable forms amid
other more abstract
elements.
