This April, The Gallery brings together several artists whose practice is immersed in making furniture, sculpture and objects from wood. In the Grain helps us welcome Spring to The Gallery as we recognise the richness and diversity of artworks made in wood. Craftsmanship is key; each artists’ technical genius and understanding of the medium comes from deep, personal engagement with sustainability and the environment. The Gallery is filled with examples from familiar and current artists alongside emerging talent.
You can view a selection of short films below from a number of artists whose work features within In the Grain. The exhibition takes place from the 1 – 24 April 2021 and you can explore the exhibition and our viewing rooms here.
