Neilton Clarke In Cohesion at Singleton Arts and Cultural Centre

by Leave a Comment



You are invited to the opening of COHESION. 

This exhibition brings together four artists who work abstractly in different media, but who are connected in their quest to investigate the subtle relationships of shapes in space. Here, connections and collisions are bold and intangible, and weighty moments often pause unnoticed. The works mingle and harmonise in a space where individuals and ideas unite. Come enjoy a glass of wine and meet these fabulous artists – everyone is welcome.
