ARTISTS have drawn inspiration from life and nature for a new exhibition opening this weekend.

The Gallery at St George's House, in Bolton town centre, is showcasing the work of four Greater Manchester four artists, Kate Davies, Sarah Feinmann, Maggie Hargreaves ­— who is part of Bolton's art collective neo-artists ­— and Fiona Moate.

Their pieces ­— collage and works on paper or canvas ­— in the exhibition entitled Landmark are said to reflect "the processes at work in our environment; the ways in which nature supports life and the ways in which time and people put their mark on nature".

Curator Emma Kelly said: "This exhibition looks at nature itself as well as at the traces, erosions and edifices, from wheel tracks to monuments, fences to hill figures: the results of time, history and people’s interactions with their surroundings."

She added: "Each artist brings a unique focus to the exhibition.

"Kate Davies looks at the overlooked and insignificant parts of the worked landscape and at the tracks and traces, sticks and stones which mark the land.

"Sarah Feinmann’s work uses juxtapositions of used and worn scraps and fragments of paper to examine the nature of time, memory, change and erosion. Maggie Hargreaves is interested in the natural environment and how the interactions within it enable it to function as a habitat for all and Fiona Moate makes semi abstract paintings, which incorporate landscape elements, from ancient monuments to architectural landmarks."

A preview of the exhibition takes place on Saturday between 1pm to 3pm. The exhibition runs until January 10.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Admission is free.
