Gala Fine Art will be presenting paintings by Serena Curmi, Cordelia Hutchison, Lucinda Metcalfe and Dan Parry-Jones, as well as newcomers Ella Carty and Tom Hughes.

Just as the artists are from near and far, so the subject matter of the paintings will take the viewer on a
journey, from semi-abstract interiors and photorealist still lifes to woods and forests, swimming pools with sunlight reflections, holiday scenes with LA vibes, brooding mountains, abstracted landscapes, beach huts atsunrise and vibrant wildlife, via colourful abstract works inspired by nature or made using reclaimed materials.

All the work will be for sale, priced between £195 and £3,600.

All welcome, free entry!
