Exhibition of paintings by Peter Corr to go on display at the Darryl Nantais Gallery, Linton

A new exhibition displaying work by Cambridgeshire abstract artist Peter Corr launches this Saturday (June 10) at The Darryl Nantais Gallery on the High Street in Linton.

The event takes place from 10am to 8pm. Drinks and snacks will be served throughout the day and Peter himself will be at the gallery from 2pm to 6pm.

The exhibition continues until 4pm on Friday, July 7, and during the exhibition the gallery will be open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.

The gallery said: “We are delighted to host this exhibition of work by Peter Corr. We have been working with Peter for almost two years and it has been wonderful to see the response and positive interest in his paintings in our galleries and at art fairs across the country.”

Peter notes that his work displays an underlying preoccupation with abstraction, design and the tactile qualities of the materials that he uses.

He says that to create pictures is to engage in a wonderful, intense activity that deepens the sense of mystery and fascination that we all experience in our lives and that the real magic and power of art lives in the alchemy of materials, memory, awareness, experience and feeling.
