Sublime Norfolk by Peter Norton and Mary Gilonne
30th April - 26th May
Main Gallery and Front Room
Peter Norton:
Having always had a passion for art and for the countryside, I’ve been able to indulge these interests more in recent years as time became available. The combination of exploring our fascinating county and photography, has led me to an abiding interest in the abstract images that can be found in nature.
The most exciting images are often the most fleeting, whether it be the shadows of cloud scudding across sand flats, or the rays of sun penetrating deep undergrowth and illuminating objects which are reflected on dark water surfaces. In this exhibition three themes are presented, water reflections, landscapes exposed be the retreating sea, and artefact of the seashore.
Mary Gilonne:
Norfolk is a county that holds a very special place for me, my parents used to live in Aylsham and family summers and get-togethers have been part of my life for years. I have always expressed myself with poetry. I find words fascinating, how they can be jig-sawed together in an emotive and musical fusion to form images and thoughts that are even surprising to the writer. There are several layers in my poems. Description of course, but more than that, a story atmosphere, something that can link me and the reader to situation, and time.
In my book SUBLIMITY – NORFOLK, this most secret, mysterious nature of land and seascapes, had me searching for its deeper stories, the ones that are an intrinsic part of Norfolk, or those that thread through its people and lives.

Lines + Places by Haychley Webb / Stellabox Designs
28th May - 9th June
Front Room
Lines + Places: A Life in Lino is the first solo exhibition by Norwich printmaker Haychley Webb / Stellabox Designs.
The collection brings together her experience of travelling in North America and living in Norfolk as shown in original limited edition linocut prints. This exhibition is a celebration of the stories simple linocut lines tell about the artist’s life over the past two years.
Works created on Vancouver Island are displayed side by side with works created in the fine City of Norwich, with themes of the natural world bringing the two together. The works are all in black and white – reflecting the way the artist, being neurodivergent, interprets the world.
This exhibition also features the entire series of works created for the new album of East Anglian musician, Holly Lerski. Holly will be performing live at the Open View on 30th May.

Homebody by Pinch
28th May - 9th June
Main Gallery
What is “Home”? Is it a physical reality or a mental state? Many individuals find a sense of connection to Home, but for an increasingly large number of us, Home is a melancholic shadow of a feeling, perpetually out of reach. As our society grows ever more dependent on globalism, it's now in our blood to be in transit, but what have we lost in the process?
Homebody is a collection of figurative paintings and drawings exploring three key themes to the meaning of Home - Physical Space, Interpersonal Connections, and connection with The Self. As a person who has moved house ten times in as many years, the exhibition focuses on the conclusion of my findings being a combination of each, and reflects the emotion realised during the creation of the works.
