CAPTURING THE EPHEMERAL WILLIAM GRANT’S HAVANT In the Mezzanine Gallery 12 January – 27 March
AARON BENNETT In the Mezzanine Gallery 1 April – 15 May Based on the local history trail around Havant and referencing the beginning of photography with the use of daguerreotype wet plate images, Aaron wants to try to replicate a moment in time. The images are photographed using up to date digital cameras, but the post production photo manipulation creates a texture which harks back to the wet plate image which was very fashionable at the turn of the 20th century.

Meet the Artist: Sat 8 June, 2pm – 4pm (incl. refreshments and poetry reading) Bobbie’s paintings express the feeling in a fragment of space and time. She is inspired by moments in a garden, mist, stillness, grass, cobwebs, fading light, mud and brambles. Through her paintings she makes pathways in memory to hold and preserve a transient sensation.

EXHIBITIONS
Born in 1893, William Grant began painting in earnest in his late teens and carried on for over half a century, during which time he captured images of Havant and the surrounding area and its people. His favourite medium was watercolour but this didn’t prevent him from capturing strength of character in his sitters, nor indeed the vivid colours of the summer gardens and landscape surrounding the town he loved.
