ABOUT

We are truly pleased to invite you to the opening event of our first new exhibition for

2022.

‘Through Time We Tumble but Tales Remain’ by Dianne Bowell.

The show pulls together a whole new body of work produced by Dianne during (and because of) the last two years of the pandemic lockdowns.

Focusing on the mythic, folkloric and fantastic, her works cavort through imaginary childhoods laced with magic, languorous and sensual retellings of familiar tales such as Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and images that have a fascinating and familiar

feel, though never encountered before.

There is a lavish and deliberate use of complimentary colours, gold leaf, layers of

glazing and varnish to produce narratives trapped delicately beneath the surface which reveal themselves with each viewing. A truth desperate to be told.

The show is visually joyous, optimistic but also laced with pathos for the human condition and the characters trapped within. There is a rare magic within these works.

So please come along and enjoy this exquisite celebration of Dianne’s work.

The exhibition runs from the 21st of February through to the 8th of April.

Boho Zero, 21 Gosford Street, Middlesbrough. TS3 1BB.
