A PRIZE-winning painter is preparing to unveil a unique exhibition exploring people’s relationships with technology at Warrington.
The brand new exhibition, Zeitgeist, by contemporary figurative painter Peter Davis is to go on show at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery from February 10 to April 28.
Admission will be free and the exhibition will be open 10am – 4.30pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 4pm on Saturdays.
This is a work that examines humanity and its relationship with technology through a unique collection of original paintings.
Each exquisite piece acts as a social documentary that probes beneath the surface of the digital age we live in, and looks at the status of a person within contemporary society.
Zeitgeist is the latest exhibition to form part of the extended Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival programme.
Thanks to support from Arts Council England, Culture Warrington – the charity that runs Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival, Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, and Pyramid and Parr Hall – is able to present the year-round programme showcasing emerging talent.
By working with partners from across the North West, the charity plans to commission local, regional and national artists to connect with Warrington’s neighbourhoods throughout the year, culminating in this year’s Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
An elected member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (MAFA), Peter Davis boasts a glittering reputation amongst his peers, and has also picked up a number of prestigious industry awards, including the Visitor’s Choice Prize at the Warrington Contemporary Open exhibition last year, he was also shortlisted for Artist of the Year by Artists & Illustrators, the country’s leading art magazine.
