SILVER & COLD
On view: 18 July - 2 August, 2025
This show invites artists to explore emotional contrast — the quiet beauty of stillness, the tension between warmth and cold, light and dark.
Silver and Cold explores the stark beauty of contrasts, where the warmth of human expression meets the chill of the unknown. This exhibition delves into themes of isolation, longing, and transformation, using cool tones, metallics, and the interplay of light and shadow to evoke a sense of both fragility and resilience.
In this exhibition, the coldness of the external world meets the warmth of human creativity, creating an immersive experience where light fades and shadows emerge, leaving behind a poignant, lingering presence.
Come warm up with us in the gallery for a night of conversation, contemplation, and community. All works will be available for purchase on the night.
Featuring works by from over 40 artist from Newcastle and beyond.
