Opening night at the Bowery, Leeds


"The State of Urban Loneliness" show opened tonight at the Bowery in Headingly, Leeds.  Frankly this must be one of the most rapid-reaction blog posts we have ever done, being as it's going online within a couple of hours of us returning.


The Bowery is a new venue for us; a nice café downstairs, then it's up to the gallery.  Two rooms for displaying work, and a classroom space.


The blurbs for the show were out for visitors; kept the walls around the artwork from being too cluttered.


My three pics, from the Intercity project.  No frames, just wall-mounted, every artist having their work displayed the same way, creating a nice consistency.


The quality of the work was very high, with some interesting interpretations of the theme for the show, and a nice mix of landscape, architectural, portraiture, and creative photography.


The opening night for the show was pleasantly busy, with a good atmosphere.  An enjoyable evening out, and a nice start to 2019 for showing our photography/art.


A big thanks to the team there, especially Bella Quinn (the curator) for selecting my pics for the show.  It's on display for a while, so if you're in the area, pop in to see a nice and varied selection of photography responding to the theme.
