Colourful new art exhibition ICONOCLASH from artist Ian Kirkpatrick will be on show at the Harley Gallery, Nottinghamshire, from October 26 until January 5.

A brand-new art exhibition will be bringing imagination and colour to the county this winter.

The Harley Gallery, based on Nottinghamshire Welbeck Estate, will be showcasing the art of Ian Kirkpatrick in his ICONOCLASH exhibition, from October 26 until January 5.

In this free exhibition global events, video games and ancient artifacts collide in larger-than-life artworks which tell stories about our modern world.

People of all ages are invited to engage with the colourful, playful pieces filled with infographics, emojis, and contemporary hieroglyphs.

Drawing together symbols from diverse sources, such as cartoons and cave art, the British-Canadian artist tells his own stories using ornate and layered artworks, featuring these familiar symbols that reflect a search for meaning in a world of increasing uncertainty.

Visitors can expect to have their viewpoints challenged by large-scale sculptures, enormous quilted wall pieces, digital artworks and embroideries, which tell stories of migration, war, climate change and consumerism.

Ian has produced large-scale murals and sculptures for clients including the London 2012 Olympics, the Tour de France and the Oxford Museum of Natural History, and recently completed an 8-metre-tall brass mural in Millennium Square, Leeds.

The artist will also be visiting the the gallery on the November 16 and 29 to run children’s craft workshops and run a gallery talk respectively which can be booked through the Harley Foundation website.

The north Nottinghamshire gallery is free to enter, open from 10am to 5pm on Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm on Sundays and closed on Mondays.
