Coinciding with the success of BA(Hons) Fine Art, another exhibition which is definitely one not to miss, is ‘Unpainted’ presented by Fine Art Lecturer, Tony Charles in Platform A Gallery, Middlesbrough. The show is on until 21st April and showcases Tony’s ‘Unpaintings’, which are described as “palimpsests, multi-layered records bearing traces of their earlier aspects… which form amalgams of gesture and erasure, painting and sculpture” by Annie O’Donnell on her Corridor8 review.
