Exhibition 15th March - 1st June 2010
'The Return' is an exhibition that marks Toms works returning as a permanent feature of Gallerina. It is also a theme Tom used for many of his paintings and prints, depicting his famous stooped, bow legged figures in the 'return' shaft of the mine.
Tom used his paintings as a diary for his long working life as a miner, and in doing so shared so much more with us. This exhibition will include some of Toms oils, drawings, lithographs and etchings, showcasing him as the great artist and technician that he was. This will be the first time Toms family have made works officially available since he very sadly passed away in 2006.
We feel proud, as always, to show Toms work in the gallery and privileged to have a front row seat to this fantastic North East mining artists work. He is missed by us all, and remains our champion.
We hope you are able to join us.
