Take Five – A New Perspective

The Take Five artists return to The Poly with an exciting new exhibition of paintings in mixed media, textiles, ceramics and prints.

Landscape Take Five artists are returning to the Poly for a new exhibition of work inspired by the landscape.

The landscape and countryside are the starting point for their work, and each artist develops their ideas in their chosen medium of ceramics, textiles, paint, ink and print. By the use of these different mediums, this exhibition gives the viewer an insight into how each artist approaches the subject of the environment and landscape.
