And the tide was way out is an exhibition of new art works by Paul Hallahan and Lee Welch that looks to Utopia and the end of perceived history, adopting very different approaches to the theme. The exhibition is their first two-person exhibition and also marks a unique collaboration as the artists have jointly made two new paintings for the first time. The exhibition mainly consists of painted works (acrylic paint, acrylic ink and watercolour) and engages with the architecture of the building to pose questions as to how we see the world. The artworks include a combination of figurative based and abstracted landscape paintings. This exhibition is co-funded by the Arts Council.
