From a Cartoonist’s Perspective – Art Exhibition at Naess Gallery
February 5 - March 7
Naess Gallery at The Paint Spot presents an exhibition of the process of cartooning featuring actual sketches and preliminary work in various stages. Enjoy an exploded view of the artist’s sketchbook. Although most of Gerry’s work is ink on paper, he is always experimenting with new ways to make images, from drawing with twigs and sponges dipped in ink, to painting with coloured ink on birch panels.
