ENVIRONMENTS EXHIBITION at Trinity Community Hub. 3rd to 29th May 2025

VISIT THE EXHIBITION

MAPPING THE WAY: Artist and educator Keith Parkinson’s latest exhibition ‘Environments’ started with an OS map dated 1952 of the Bowland Forest. It simply asked for a painting of the Hen Harrier, symbol of the Bowland Forest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A departure from his usual work due to personal circumstances, this exhibition is also a response to Keith’s love of nature, especially birds, and fascination by maps.

He said: “All these paintings have meaning for me, both in terms of my links and fondness for the places, and my particular interest in the creatures represented. Some are birds I’ve had a long affection for, others that have made for especially exciting spots.”

The aim of his work is to represent a sense of people and place through landscape, portrait and abstract drawing and painting, and, from time to time, sculpture. He uses visual starting points, mathematical patterns and often poetry, to convey a more philosophical or spiritual sense in the way people and society interact with each other and the place.

The exhibition will launch at our next Coffee Stop on Saturday 3rd of May and will run until the 29th. The gallery will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10am to 4pm.
