Roll up, roll up, come one, come all and delight in the latest exhibition at The Sayle Gallery in Douglas.

Death & Decay may seem a bit doom and gloom for January but with a feast of visual delights including a Cabinet of Curiosities installation this exhibition promises to be anything but.
The exhibition features work from six Sayle Gallery artists and has been put together by the gallery’s Curator Hazel Walsh:

‘Following on from the work completed for ‘Mann, Abandoned’ during my time as Artist in Residence I have continued to explore themes of decay and degeneration, aging and death. This exhibition brings together both my own work on the subject and that of selected Gallery Artists. I have been working as Curator at the gallery for some time now but this is the first show I have brought together myself and I am excited to see the other artists work and how it will all interact.’

Hazel will be showing the portrait series ‘Memento Mori’ which was created for exhibition at the Crypt Gallery in London in July of 2012. She will also be producing a ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ installation for the exhibition.

French artist Bruno Cavellec has become well known for his moody landscape images since relocating to the Island in 2011 but the works shown here reflect mortality, aging and dying and include oil paintings, linocuts and drypoint etchings.

Charlotte Jane Henry will be showing a new DVD alongside watercolours and etchings on the theme, whilst mixed media artist Rosi Robinson’s contributions include a 6ft Textile wall hanging.

Vici Blackburn has created a series of ceramic wall hangings and Margaret Claydon will also be contributing to the show.
