A penguin and a greyhound will be greeting visitors to the latest art exhibition in Kings Hill.

The animals, fresh from being exhibited in Edinburgh, are the work of Ptolemy Elrington, whose Hubcap Creatures studio fashions sculptures from recycled scrap, including car parts found at the side of the road.

They are part of an exhibition featuring the work of nine UK artists who work in a variety of media.

Among the paintings are pictures by Brighton-based Nina Garstang, who is inspired by mankind’s relationship with the sea – both positive and negative – and the interplay of light and water. 

The other painters on show are abstract artist Eli Norman; Caroline Smith, who draws on her love of travel and walking; Helen Moore, whose work depicts snapshots of life on the north coast of Scotland set against vast landscapes and moody skies; Karan Nerwan, whose work is based on her thoughts and emotions; and Sussex-based artist Roberta Young who exhibited at this year’s Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and is inspired by the South Downs and people’s relationship with nature. 

Joining them are Diccon Daley, known for his metal sculptures of wild animals, and ceramicist Frances Doherty, whose pottery is inspired by flowers and plants.

The exhibition is spread across nine locations – eight office buildings, each highlighting the work of one or two of the participating artists, and The Control Tower Gallery, which features a selection from them all. 

“The current exhibition features a range of different types of artwork which have been chosen to appeal to a wide variety of tastes,” said June Frickleton of Frickleton Fine Art, who curates the ongoing programme of exhibitions in Kings Hill on behalf of developer Liberty Property Trust. “The nine artists comprising the exhibition all have their particular practice areas and bringing them together makes for an engaging and thought-provoking mixed media experience.”

The exhibition is open to the public between 9am and 5.30pm from Monday to Friday. It runs until Friday, 8 November. Viewings of The Control Tower Gallery exhibition can be booked by contacting June Frickleton at info@frickletonfineart.co.uk or by attending an open afternoon from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday, 30 October.
