“A new series of paintings by Matt Curtis are currently being exhibited at Hobbs House bakery, Nailsworth.
You can expect to be transported to a place where murky forests, floating islands and strange creatures share a world similar to a memory plucked from the edge of consciousness. Matt is keen to convey a dream like quality in his work by using a pallet of lush greens and washes of delicate blues inspired by his many trips to Canada where the wild expansive spaces and deep, vibrant colours have become prominent inspiration for his most recent work.
The exhibition will run untill the 4th of December.”

" SOMA - painting from the savage mind - private view Friday 6th June
An exhibition of paintings by Alex Crocker, Laurence Owen, Matthew Curtis and Adam Crosland.
This group of young artists all attended Stroud art college around the turn of the century. Now they return to Stroud with a selection of new and exciting paintings in an exhibition entitled Soma – painting from the savage mind. The title for the show is inspired by Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. Soma is the wonder drug of the future that the government prescribes to its citizens to keep them in a constant state of bliss. The savage is a character born outside the realms of state control and becomes the seed of dissent in this dystopian image of the future. "
