Hatton Gallery

Opening tomorrow - Mali Morris: Returning

The largest exhibition to date of the work of British artist Mali Morris opens at the Hatton Gallery on 14 September 2024. To celebrate her remarkable career spanning half a century, Morris returns to the city where it all began.

Morris studied at the Department of Fine Art, Newcastle University, from 1963 -1968. She is best known for her use of fresh, vibrant colour, her paintings noted for their luminosity and translucence, characterised by a lightness of touch. The show features around 40 key works spanning 45 years, tracing the development of her painting from the early gestural and stained pieces to the more recent geometric layering.

Free entry. All welcome. Opening times: Monday – Saturday, 10am-5pm.

What's On | Hatton Gallery

Our next exhibition, opening on Saturday 29 June, is Mirror Neurons.

The panoramic spectrum of more than 30 artists included in this exhibition create artworks across almost every medium and method, but share one common denominator. Their works recall the writer Lewis Hyde’s idea that “a work of art is a gift, not a commodity ... where there is no gift there is no art”. As Hyde has also noted, quoting Joseph Conrad, “the artist appeals to that part of our being ... which [recognises it as] a gift and not an acquisition – and, therefore, [is] more permanently enduring.”

Free entry (donations welcome). Opening Times: Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm.
