until September 17.
Defiance Gallery in Mary Place, Paddinfrom, has a show of Peter Godwin’s paintings accompanied by a room full of large scale carborundum prints that the painter made with master printmaker Andrew Smith while in Dorset UK. Godwin experimented with 65 carborundum plates. The prints are large - 246x366cm (triptych) - made possible by Smith’s 3m x 1.5 m press bed - which makes the gesture of the line expand into the gallery space.

It is also interesting to see how the Godwin has used the print process to explore the marks and gestures that have an important role in his painted canvases.
Show is on for almost 3 more weeks
