Paul & Carl Fitton: Unveiling Imagination at Gallery North West

Art has a unique power to transport us into worlds unknown, challenge our perceptions, and stir our imagination. At Gallery North West, nestled in the heart of the market town of Brampton, an extraordinary exhibition awaits, showcasing the distinct visions of two talented artists: Paul and Carl Fitton.

Paul Fitton's Provocative Visions

Paul Fitton's collection tantalizes the mind, inviting viewers into a realm where mystery and abstraction collide. His works, a diverse tapestry of themes encompassing surrealism and enigmatic atmospheres, serve as a catalyst for contemplation. Each piece seems to beckon the audience to dive deeper, unraveling the layers of mystery that permeate his art.

The interplay of elements in Paul's works sparks curiosity. With each stroke, he challenges the conventional and prompts us to question what lies beyond the obvious. From the ethereal to the perplexing, his pieces stir the imagination, encouraging us to explore the uncharted territories of our minds.

Carl Fitton's Enigmatic Narratives

On the other hand, Carl Fitton's exhibition is a tribute to the past and a fascinating exploration of what the future might hold. Drawing inspiration from vintage railway art posters of the 1920s and 1930s, Carl paints a vivid picture of a world where humanity has vanished. His fascination with abandoned cities and the cosmic unknown is evident in his intricate drawings.

Through his art, Carl prompts us to ponder: What if humanity disappeared? How would nature reclaim its space, and how would our urban landscapes evolve? His illustrations of Carlisle's landmarks post-human habitation are a canvas for imagination, inviting viewers to speculate on the reasons behind humanity's departure and weave their own narratives.

Unveiling The Scrooge Diaries: Dissecting a Christmas Classic and Its Unlikely Truths

In an unprecedented revelation, Ebenezer Scrooge, the infamous protagonist of Charles Dickens' timeless tale, "A Christmas Carol," unveils his private diary. Within its pages lie untold truths about beloved characters and the scandalous reality behind the festive narrative.

This exclusive exposé sheds light on the alleged heroism of Tiny Tim, the magnanimity of the Fezziwigs, and the spectral warnings of Jacob Marley. But more intriguingly, it exposes the insidious nature of the Ghost of Christmas Present—a gluttonous, consumer-driven entity, far from the jolly figure depicted in the novella.

Scrooge's diary reveals a vastly different narrative from Dickens' portrayal. It paints the author as an opportunistic upstart, weaving a tale not of redemption but of vengeance and slander against Scrooge. The supposed transformation of the miserly old man was merely a ploy, crafted by an author seeking to capitalize on Christmas sentimentality.

To delve deeper into these startling revelations, "The Scrooge Diaries" presents an unmissable opportunity. By purchasing a ticket to this revealing event, audiences will gain access to an evening of eye-opening discussions and revelations that promise to shatter the idyllic facade of a Christmas classic.

Don't miss the chance to disrupt the holiday cheer by gifting someone an early present—tickets to "The Scrooge Diaries." Opening on December 21st, 2023, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, this immersive experience promises to challenge perceptions and rewrite the narrative of a cherished Christmas tale.
