Changes

Opening nights for exhibitions are always filled with energy and excitement! It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the creativity of local artists. On November 7th, we’re thrilled to host Ross Miley for his third exhibition. We invite you to join us at 6 PM!

Ross Miley is an artist based in Greyabbey, Co. Down. He studied Fine Art at Manchester school of Art, graduating with first class honours in July 2022, winning the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (MAFA) painting award. Since then, he has become an associate member of MAFA as-well-as completing two solo exhibitions at the Katie Lindsay Gallery (2022) and Arts for All, Belfast (2023), with a third upcoming exhibition at Arts for All, Belfast (Nov. 2024).

This body of work delves into the interplay between nature, mood, and the transient beauty of changing seasons. Through abstract expressionism, the aim is to capture the delicate yet bold emotions that landscapes evoke, transforming them into vibrant, imaginary realms.

A palette of bright colours reflects the energy and dynamism of nature, inviting viewers to experience a sense of movement and change. Each brushstroke serves as a dialogue between the internal landscape of the mind and the external world, visualizing emotional states influenced by the shifting seasons. The goal is to create immersive mind-scapes that resonate with personal experiences of nature and emotion. By blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination, a sense of wonder is evoked, fostering a deeper connection to the beauty and complexity of both the natural world and our inner lives.

Exhibition can be viewed at Arts for All's John Luke Gallery till 16th November 2024.
