Exhibitions

Spring Headline Exhibition
Fiona Sturrock

7 March - 11 May

Fiona Sturrock joins us at The Biscuit Factory in March for a headline exhibition.

Fiona’s paintings demonstrate her love of colour; the practice of mixing colour, and laying down patterns of light, shade and texture to produce bold representations of her subjects. Expect a vibrant collection of still life and wildlife paintings.

Find out more about Fiona on the blog, and see her collection below.

Jim Moir
Knot Twister Prologue

16 May - 20 July

Jim Moir (AKA Vic Reeves) returns to The Biscuit Factory this Summer with a brand new collection of original paintings. Those following Jim's career as an artist will be familiar with his breadth of work. From charming watercolours to expressive & bold oil paintings; his passion for nature is obvious in every composition, as are the unique characters of his subjects.

This, the fourth large-scale exhibition we've hosted with Jim, will see a selection of these familiar works, as well as some local scenes of the region. It's a show not to be missed, and presents another opportunity for art enthusiasts and Moir fans to add original pieces to their homes and collections
