WHAT’S ON

Whalers – Richard Lees

Whalers is a print re- imagining of Moby Dick as a story about human greed, toxic masculinity and the fatal consequences of waging war on nature – spoiler alert, in Melville’s book, the white whale sinks the whaling ship, killing all but one of the crew. Drawing directly on the life or death environmental crisis we now face, my prints depict some of the dark forces that have brought us to this cliff edge as well as the inevitable human tragedies that follow.

THE STAITHES GROUP

The Bridge at Staithes (1902), by John Bowman

There is always a selection of work by the amazing Staithes Group of Artists on display. These British Impressionists painted as a group, in Whitby and along the Yorkshire coast, c. 1894 – 1909.
