An award-winning artist is to showcase his work in a new exhibition.
Day-Light: Night-Light will be opening on November 19 featuring the works of artist Pete Marsh in the Market Place's new gallery.
Run by the not-for-profit organisation Hive Artists CIC is situated on the upper ground floor of the Market Place Shopping Centre.
Pete Marsh has been exhibiting his work for over forty years and was recently awarded The Selectors Prize for his work in “Rhythm: Art In Conversation With Music” exhibition.
He is the founding member of FaMAS which provides studio and exhibition space at Falcon Mill in Bolton and he has exhibited nationally and internationally.
Speaking about his exhibition at Bolton Hive CIC, Pete said: "My work is representational comprising largely of landscape and figurative work.
"I use “en plein-air” sketches, studio sketches, photographs and occasionally digital manipulation techniques to help to produce, not just a facsimile of what I see, but something that expresses what I and (hopefully) my audience feels.”
Julie Levy, Director of Hive Artists said: "Pete’s work showcases a wide range of techniques and media with something for everyone to enjoy.
"His subject matter ranges from landscapes to portraits and art inspired by his passion for music.
"Hive Gallery is pleased to be able to share this with the wider community and visitors to the Market Place."
The exhibition, DAY- LIGHT : NIGHT- LIGHT, will be open to view each week on Fridays and Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm from November 25 until the end of December.
There will also be a preview in the gallery on Saturday November 19 from 1pm to 3pm with everyone welcome to attend and meet the artist throughout the event.
The exciting art exhibition space, Hive Gallery, opened in June aiming to provide benefits to practitioners from all sectors of the arts and at all stages of their careers, offering them opportunities to exhibit their work, deliver workshops and further develop their practice.
