About this Event
Join us on Thursday 28th November, 17:00 - 19:00 for the launch and private view of our new 'The Liverpool Collection' 2024.
The heart and the history of Liverpool comes to dot-art. Closing out 2024 and welcoming in the new year; this exhibition features art that reflects the beauty and diversity of the city and it’s surrounding region.
Offering art that is both rooted in history and alive with modern perspectives and practices, highlighting the well-loved and hidden gems a like, this exhibition reveals Liverpool through the eyes of 25 dot-art Artist Members. This is a unique opportunity to showcase our Artist Members; while our group shows often feature a select few, this exhibition highlights a diverse cross-section of artists we support — local, affordable, and committed to developing and showcasing their work in their home city.
Longstanding member Susan Finch is a storyteller through her art, she uses motifs that create drama and nostalgia against the backdrop of her home city. New member Joao Coelho who is St. Helens based, creates detailed dioramas inspired by the history and architecture around him, capturing time worn facades and the rust, graffiti and urban decay that comes with them.
Frank Leung is an extremely skilled portraitist and has developed a series of street scenes of buskers and residents of Liverpool. The city’s landmarks are hidden in the background, while these bright and lively characters entertain you in the foreground. Joseph Venning recently completed a live painting for the Beyond Van Gogh experience at ACC Liverpool. Utilising the iconic modern artist’s style, he created a portrait of Van Gogh painting the Liverpool skyline. From this exhibition, Joseph has developed an incredible painted collage of Liverpool landmarks with a twist of Van Gogh’s infamous blue swirling sky, suspended stars and crescent moon.
Ali Barker is showing work from her dot-art x Everyman Artist Residency last year. Over 6 months Barker spent time with the staff, watched productions and toured the Everyman and Playhouse Theatres. Here, she shows the façade of the iconic Hope Street based Everyman theatre as well as the interior of the Playhouse, looking up to the Radio City Tower.
We want to enable everyone to enrich their lives through art, whether that is through our Art Classes, Artist Membership or buying affordable art. You can help us with this goal by giving the gift of art! Prints start from £35, and we have vouchers for any budget available to gift for the art lover in your life.
Our longstanding Creative Courses are live now with fantastic venues and amazing artist tutors. Art Course Vouchers make thoughtful gifts for those looking to give creative experiences rather than material items that may go unused.
All artworks are for sale.
