ART GALLERY EXHIBITIONS
27 April – 26 May ON THE CONCEPT OF FACE An exhibition of Portraits by local artist Gordon Clegg
” I was born in Stalybridge in 1947. I have been painting portraits for 50 years and still get such a thrill from painting them : for me the portrait is the perfect subject, it portrays every single emotion, from happiness to extreme grief, the face says it all. With over 40 portraits, covering the famous, to faces from around the world, from commissions to family pieces. I hope there will be something for everyone to enjoy” We see faces all day every dayh, even our own (but do we look into the Face)
