Culcheth artist teams up to bring exhibit to Pyramid

The building’s Atrium will be transformed into an exhibit called ‘Portals’ by Steve Sutton and Culcheth artist Jack Dickinson.

The unique collaboration will see a dynamic exploration of identity and nature brought to Warrington’s artistic hub.

This exhibit will involve various artistic disciplines, incorporating sculpture, drawing, painting, and even utilising the limbs and trunks of trees in their work.

The exhibition runs until May 5, and is free to view.

Steve has worked with Culture Warrington in the past, helping create an ‘immersive, multimedia piece’ called ‘Trap’ for Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival last year.

Steve said: “The connections I’ve made in relation to my practice have been fantastic. Culture Warrington has been amazing and has offered me so much support. It’s been exciting to come to Warrington and have these opportunities alongside other artists.”

The pair met at New Art Spaces: Warrington, the studio space taking up the site of the old M&S, roughly 18 months ago.

Jack said of their combined work, “The opportunity to exhibit work at the Pyramid has been a brilliant catalyst for creating collaborative art.

“Steve and I have made pieces together that we could never have created alone. Working this way has opened up a thread of artwork about our shared interests such as identity, spiritualism and nature. We are both excited to show this work to the public.”
