The Hamilton Gallery is thrilled to welcome back visitors this Friday, May 24th from 6pm, as they unveil two brand new must-see exhibitions! After a brief closure since the acclaimed 'Emerging From Darkness' show, doors are open once again to the public.

This exhibition surveys the diversity of expression, technique and invention to be found in textile-based practices and highlights progressive approaches that are helping to reshape the industry as sustainable, inclusive and collaborative.

'Ivan Durrant: Marmalade Skies Through Opal Eyes' (25 May - 29 September) explores a career marked by controversy and social commentary, starting with his deliberate provocations in the media dubbed ‘Ivan the Terrible’. His enduring exploration of themes like animal slaughter and rural life exemplifies his continued ability to provoke thought and evoke emotion through art.
