About this event

An exhibition by contemporary artist Kurt Jackson, influenced by his work at Littlejohns China Clay Works.

Please note Wheal Martyn is currently closed. Visit their website to check future dates/times for this exhibition.

We are delighted to present an exhibition by contemporary artist Kurt Jackson, influenced by his artist in residence at Littlejohns China Clay Works. Kurt’s work is fuelled by a long standing interest in Cornwall’s extractive industry and its role in shaping the physical landscape, culture and heritage of the county. Kurt worked in situ, observing the workers in the pit as they extracted and transported the china clay in an extraordinary manmade landscape. The exhibition includes new mixed media paintings, from huge tarpaulin-sized canvases to small intimate studies. The subject matter ranges from the ‘washing’ of the clay with high pressure monitors, to the blasting of the rock and breaking and transportation.
