Constance Fearne uses the architecture of Salford and Manchester as her inspiration to generate expressive and spontaneous rapidly drawn poster paint sketches, which breathe and move. Her colour work transforms the stunning but drab looking cityscape into vibrant and textured panaramas which reflect the iridescence of Eastern and Mediterranean art, which she uses as inspiration.
Constance lives in Salford and is a volunteer at the Start in Salford Arts Project and is currently working towards a BA in Fine Art.

Zeke Clough is showing an exhibition of his work in the Start Gallery. Titled 'Proto Murk,' the event will take place from July to September (see above for exact dates) and will show the dark and exciting work of this talented artist.
The exhibition will be a series of drawings and prints. These drawings involve organic structures with cartoon overtones that manifest in a chaotic mix of different media and precise drawing. The result evokes a mix of underwater apparitions and obscure comic books.
