2 The Way of Seeing

CityCoast Centre, North Street, Portslade, BN41 1DG

The light reflecting off water.

The colour and movement of the sky.

Harmony in the seemingly random.

Every watcher finds another point of view.

We warmly invite you to our new exhibition space and café to enjoy an exciting collection of art exploring the way in which we see the world. Our first time opening as part of the AOH Festival and we can’t wait to welcome you through our doors.

Matthew looks to capture the extraordinary in the everyday. With a background in ecology and nature conservation, he has an eye for the beauty to be found in the world around us. Multi-award winner and lover of the Sussex countryside.

Charmaine’s representation of the sky’s revolving colours and forms is a symbol of hope in her paintings. She uses impasto techniques to create expressive yet gently flowing sky-scapes with a spectrum of colour.
