An exhibition of twelve paintings featuring some of Mark Rodgers most recent works, produced whilst being Artist in Residence at Burton Agnes Hall.

Visitors will encounter wondrous creatures and stunning landscapes filled with colours and sensations that are heightened and strange. Beautiful to behold and often sci-fi in feel, the exhibition will have darker undercurrents relating to our destruction of nature. The varied artistic work pays homage to visionary sci-fi writers and filmmakers who conjured apocalyptic landscapes and creatures such as; J.G Ballard, John Wyndham and Douglas Trumbull, to name just a few.
There are sculptures by Salvatore Arancio, Halina Dominska and Alfie Strong, paintings by Dan Hays and Katherine Reekie, a sound installation by Jason Singh, a live performance by Patrick Coyle and videos by Helen Sear and Seán Vicary.

Hull based artist Ella Dorton will expand her fabric collage-based practice with her first major project at Humber Street Gallery.
Typically using found fabrics, old clothes, bedsheets, curtains and paint, the artist composes portraits that reflect the people of Hull. Her interests have recently explored fictional future landscapes that capture drastic ecological change with rising sea levels and continued use of plastics and their detriment on the environment.
For her project at Humber Street Gallery, the artist will develop a series of large-scale fabric collages that depict individuals and groups of people that make up the social diaspora of Hull from communities surrounding her own neighbourhood. To create these, the artist has composed portraits and sketches brought together through extensive sittings with her subjects. These sittings act as an axis to bring the voices of those who greatly inspire her, directly into the work, often including quotes from conversations scrawled/stitched onto the final piece.
Ella Dorton is one of seven artists who collectively run Ground, an artist run workshop, gallery and community space. Many of the subjects within in this series of work have been a part of the Ground community.
Humber Street Gallery is delighted to present A Tittle-Tattle-Tell-a-Tale Heart, Athena Papadopoulos’ first major institutional presentation in the UK. Using her recent two-part novel, of the same title as a point of departure the artist will create a narrative that combines the use of free-standing sculpture, sound installation, costume and performance.
The exhibition is loosely based on her recent novel of the same title and is constructed around a selection of chapters reinterpreted into 2&3-D artworks. The novel mimics that of a detective story, inspired by films such as Sunset Boulevard and follows the narrative of the film’s protagonist “Bunny” to uncover what may have led to her downfall.

A 27ft sculpture made of knives is coming to Hull to show the impact of knife crime and culture.
The sculpture, ‘Knife Angel’, is made up with over 100,000 weapons collected in a knife amnesty. It is in the shape of an angel and engraved with messages from families of victims of knife crime.
The sculpture was made to tour the UK but has so far only been shown in Liverpool – making Hull the second city to host it.
It will be visiting the city as part of the #NoMoreKnifes campaign, launched by Hull Live last year alongside the RICH Foundation in a bid to rid the region’s streets of knife crime.
The exhibition will take place in The Rose Bowl inside Queen’s Gardens.
London based designer Sallyann Mason, born in Hull, has been inspired by such an incredible community of Women from 50 years ago of Hessle Road, that to celebrate the year of the 50th year anniversary of this group of women’s powerful endeavour to rock the establishment and save the future lives of thousands of men in their community and the rest of the world, that she has taken it upon herself to design a traveling story campaign which has quite literally traveled the World in 80 days in the old fashioned way via Land, Sea and Air and has brought the incredibly inspirational story of the Headscarf Revolutionaries into communities in over 78 global cities in 26 countries across 6 continents, places such as Damascus, Colombia, Iran, Beijing, to name a few.
Times: Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm Sunday 1pm to 8pm
To this day, horse and carts collecting scrap metal are a regular sight on the streets of Hull.
The call of “rag bone” can be heard down the ‘tenfoots’ and passages, letting people know to bring out any unwanted goods to be recycled.
This exhibition will focus on this familiar but often uncelebrated aspect of Hull’s social history and will display unique photographs from three generations of Hull rag and bone men. These evocative images are from the Norris family collection, dating from 1968 up to the current day.
The Ferens Gallery will be transformed by a glowing landscape of suspended inflatable microbe pods of differing shapes and sizes. This interactive exhibition is inspired by the beautiful microscopic imagery of bacteria and cells that live within us.
Visitors can walk through the pods causing them to sway and bump into each other. Every few minutes the suspended forms will slowly deflate and then inflate as if breathing, creating a mesmerising spectacle.
This exhibition promises to be a fascinating family friendly exhibition and not one to be missed
An ongoing partnership with Royal Collection Trust brings a masterpiece by Hans Holbein the Younger to Hull for the first time, generously lent by Her Majesty The Queen from the Royal Collection. A portrait drawing of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535). The portrait, likely connected to a single oil portrait of the sitter, shows his head and shoulders facing three-quarters to the right. He wears a hat and fur collar. The drawing has been pricked for transfer. Inscribed in an eighteenth-century hand at upper left: Tho: Moor Ld Chancelour.
Hans Holbein was born in Augsburg, Germany, trained in Basel, Switzerland and spent a total of thirteen years in England, in 1526-8 and 1532-43. The major work of Holbein’s first period in England was a portrait of the family of Sir Thomas More and during the latter period he became the most important artist at the court of Henry VIII. A small display focusing on preparatory studies and final artworks from the Ferens Art Gallery’s permanent collection will be highlighted alongside Holbein’s masterpiece. Holbein’s Sir Thomas More portrait marks the third of five exceptional works of art from the Royal Collection to go on display at the Ferens Art Gallery between 2017 and 2021.
This is the first exhibition of 2019 in Studio 11 Gallery. It will feature painter David Fulford and ceramicist Katharina Klug.
“A bed, some linen, a duvet – though less than four square yards, this is where we live out a third of our lives. It is a place of birth, sickness, death, passion, conflict, alienation, sensuality, comfort, refuge, and serenity.
Within the music of these folds we find indications of absence and of presence..” – David Fulford
“While striving for perfection in the shape of the vessel, I deliberately embrace imperfections in my surface pattern designs. I draw freehand onto the form using my trademark crayons.
These hand-drawn lines make the work lively, rough, immediate and unique and preserve the moment of mark- making.” – Katharina Klug
Preview Saturday 2nd February 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
