16th<\/sup> May \u2013 28th<\/sup> June<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometime ago artist and illustrator Mark Holiday was fortunate enough to be invited to the beautiful Shetland Islands to hold an exhibition of his fairy-tale paintings. Whilst there, he went spotting puffins, whales and seals, and went looking for treasure on St Ninians isle.<\/p>\n

One day while Mark was visiting the Shetland Islands in a place where Viking legend says \u201cYou can cast a stone from a sea into an ocean\u201d he met a little fellow called Gullwick who, over a steaming mug of seaweed ,soup told him of his many many adventures. This exhibition depicts one of those adventures.<\/p>\n

Pit Profiles: Re-profiled<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pit Profiles: Re-profiled brings together original portraits by artist H. Andrew Freeth (1912 \u2013 1986) and contemporary photographer Anton Want.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was inspired by the work of Freeth, who was the first artist to be commissioned by the National Coal Board to record miners across the coalfields. His intimate portraits were published alongside their individual stories as \u2018Pit Profiles\u2019 in the NCB\u2019s monthly magazine Coal<\/em>, between 1947 and 1952.<\/p>\n

Shown alongside Freeth\u2019s paintings are Anton Want\u2019s portraits and oral-history interviews, which provide an artistic legacy honouring one of Britain\u2019s oldest industries and the people who have helped to shape it.<\/p>\n
