Exhibitions at the Clock Tower Gallery

Two new exhibitions have just opened at the Clock Tower Gallery situated within the grounds of the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield taking in the upper and lower galleries.
Running from the 1st to 21st March 2010 for both exhibitions, the ground floor is showing an exhibition of photography by Charles Everest of the 1970 Isle of Wright music festival.
Charles was the "Press Liaison" photographer at the event allowing him access to the artists taking part and behind the scenes activity.
This placed him in a unique position from which he has been able to produce a historical record of the festival and of the stars not seen before in this first time exhibition.
A must see for photographers and fans of Hendrix and Diaz.

In the upper gallery is a another first time solo exhibition by Yvonne Lindley, a much sought after painter who combines her love of art with her work as a care assistant.
Yvonne has carried her signature landscape poppy theme through to this exhibition with new work but has also introduced abstract works which seems to take the viewer into detail, yet still identifies its author with thin lines representational of flower stems.
Thick impasto crafted paint carefully placed, gives a 3 dimensional image which is enhanced with the use of primary colour to give vibrancy that is given added impetus when viewed in diptych and triptych presentation.
We are not too sure where she is going with a new introduction of landscape involving scenes of waterfalls but we await further developments.
We cannot see these paintings being unsold for long and would suggest an early viewing.
