Exhibition

Welcome to Calderdale

This event takes place at Smith Art Gallery

A Celebration of the Borough, by Roger Davies

This exhibition of new paintings is a celebration of locality, community and culture as seen through Roger’s idiosyncratic vision and informed by his love of life in Calderdale.

As seen on the BBC One TV programme Home Is Where the Art Is, Roger Davies is a modern British painter from Brighouse, West Yorkshire. His unique paintings have delighted art lovers since his first sold-out exhibition at the Harrison Lord Gallery in 2018. 

In his work, perspectives, colours, shapes, and situations are exaggerated, resulting in dynamic compositions populated by figures which animate the paintings. As he explains: “There should be something of visual interest in every part of the picture, from top to bottom, side to side and in all four corners. My job is to make your eyes dance!”  

Roger will be carrying out a number of workshops to accompany the exhibition. These will be listed on our Events page and in our E-news when they become available.

Please join us for the Grand Opening of the exhibition at 1pm on Saturday 21st December 2024 at Smith Art Gallery.
