A new exhibition featuring the work of sex contemporary local artists opens at the House of Manannan tomorrow.
Six ‘Ways of Seeing’ features the work of Ellie Baker, Sally Black, Helen Faragher, Petrina Kent, Ella Magee, and Ongky Wijana.
It shows their own unique response to the island through a broad range of media including ink, painting and stone carving.
The works are diverse, allowing visitors to feel a familiar sense of place in some works and observe alternative ‘ways of seeing’ and feeling Manx identity in others.
You Exhibit
The works are part of the Manx National Heritage You Exhibit programme, which gives artists and community groups the opportunity to propose exhibitions in Manx National Heritage’s temporary exhibition spaces.
Exhibition curator, Nicola Tooms, said: “Our exhibition programme promotes Manx identity and community, through staging exhibitions that examine and celebrate our natural and cultural heritage.
“This exhibition contains six very different ‘ways of seeing’ the island. Each artist’s body of work shows their own personal reflections of the natural and cultural landscape of the island.”
It opens tomorrow (February 16) until Sunday, April 27 at the House of Manannan, where artworks will be available to purchase in the exhibition gallery.
