FROM THE COLLECTION: EVERYDAY: artists have always sought to depict the everyday from working lives to domestic moments. This exhibition will look at these often-intimate scenes and includes the work of Sir Frank Brangwyn, Charles Spencelayh, Jan Miel and Sir Francis Cook.
2. Come and meet internationally recognized contemporary fine artist Craig Alan, whose artwork varies in subject from realism to abstract. His signature pieces capture the essence of famous faces, iconic landmarks, abstract concepts, and tributes to art history. These extraordinary artworks are meticulously crafted using dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of intricately painted exquisite figures.
Craig will be at The Rose Gallery on Friday 31st January, from 6-8pm during his 2025 exhibition tour, Perfect Harmony. The Rose Gallery is a hidden gem within Bell Showroom, Kingsthorpe Road.
