AN exhibition of esteemed artist Norman Ackroyd’s work will be staged at the North House gallery next week.
The online display will be his 12th biennial solo show at the Manningtree gallery, running from April 17 – May 8.
It will feature works such as Reading the Landscape 2019 and Lockdown 2020.
Also on show are the small series of Lockdown Rainbow etchings and 20 independent prints from the past two years.
Rainbows have often appeared in Norman’s work in the past, but this time they hold a particularly contemporary importance and aim to symbolise hope in dark times.
The etchings of ‘Reading the Landscape’, housed in a solander box, are interleaved with translucent paper printed with lines of some of Norman’s favourite poetry and songs from Milton to Dylan.
