Your Invitation…
On Wednesday 5th October, 7-10pm, I am co-hosting a very special, one-off event in collaboration with the Moorcock Inn, Norland. This event is a cultural occasion, with extremely fine wines, sourced by the Moorcock sommeliers, delicious canapés from the kitchen, a talk by me about my recent residency in France, an exclusive look at new work, accompanied by beautiful music by a live harpist.
This is your invitation to a private viewing of my work with a small number of guests, as part of an exclusive evening that includes the following:
Welcome cocktail
A short presentation from me about my work, motivation, methods and ideas; with an opportunity for questions afterwards
A miniature, original acrylic artwork on paper, mounted and signed (for the first twenty attendees). There will be some of these miniaturel paintings available to purchase on the night for those who miss this opportunity, in addition to the exhibited pieces.
An incredible, premium wine offering, with each of the 6 paired with a collection of my work. The selection includes some of the undisputed stars of France; Sample powerful, densely mineral Grand Cru Chablis from Vaudésir and evocative aged Provençal Roussanne from the legendary Domaine Milan. Reds showcase both refined, matured Premier Cru Chambolle-Musigny and 05 Margaux from Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre; where the winemaker has completed more than 70 vintages, from vines over 100 years old. Two Champagnes will also be served; an excellent rosé from grower Laherte-Freres and quite possibly the star of the show: 2007 vintage Champagne from none other than Jacques Lassaigne.
An opportunity to be among the first to view a series of new work; including a collection of paintings from my recent art-residency in France, in addition to new work created and firmly rooted here in West Yorkshire.
Live music from a brilliant, Yorkshire-based, contemporary harpist
A programme complete with detailed art and wine notes
Canapés while you taste and browse
All of the above is priced at £95pp and tickets are available via the Moorcock website. Aimee Thurford (proprietor and head sommelier) and two further sommeliers will be on hand to discuss all things wine and of course, I will there to chat and answer questions about the artwork.
This is a completely unique event and one that we are thrilled to be hosting together, and building on past art and wine events over the last 4 years. It encompasses a high quality, cultural offering, delivered in an informal, friendly setting. There is no dress code, simply come along and enjoy some of the finer things.
A note that tickets are very limited. This is your personal invitation as one of a select number of invitees, before the event is later publicised more widely.
