Aged nearly ninety-one (his birthday is on the day after the opening of this exhibition), local artist Gerald Thornton has spent a lifetime capturing the textures and colours of the Forest of Dean. Often focusing on industrial themes, his paintings are strongly rooted in his experience of growing up in a working-class mining community in the 1930s and 40s. This major exhibition is open daily from 11.00am to 4.00pm excluding Sundays and Mondays. Paintings, prints and books will be available to purchase. Admission is free and all are welcome.
On Thursday 13 March at 7.30pm, Gerald will be talking about his work to Jason Griffiths as part of our regular monthly series of Thursday Talks at The George. This is a ‘Pay As You Feel’ event, but numbers are limited. To reserve a seat, please book using the form below.
