ART & ABOUT
In town this month
At Martyrs’
Gallery,
from the 5th,
there is an
exhibition of
The Tristram
Panels. An
art historian
working at
the turn of the 20th century, EW
Tristram devoted most of his career
to cataloguing and occasionally
restoring the medieval frescoes of
Britain's churches. But towards the
end of his career, he created a series
of reconstructed murals, eleven of
which were recently discovered at St
Elisabeth’s Church in Eastbourne.
These panels will be on show at the
gallery from the 4th of November
until the 17th of December. Read
more about their extraordinary
discovery on pg 55. (Thurs – Sun)
The Flight into Egypt, EW Tristram, 1938 (detail)
From the 1st, painter and photographer Patrick Goff
has a solo exhibition at Pelham House. Natural Colour
is a series of works that blends photography and painting
to create semi-abstract images, in this case inspired
by gardens in his home town of Seaford as well as further
afield in Seattle. Open daily from 9am to 9pm.

Chalk Gallery
’Tis (almost) the season, and all that, and there are
plenty of local artists and makers' markets to factor
in to your festive shopping plans. Winter Magic
is the title of Chalk Gallery’s exhibition from the
20th of November through to Christmas. Join them
for a special event on Saturday the 25th of November
(12 and 3pm) to
check out original paintings,
sculptures, prints,
ceramics and cards, and
find a diverse mix of
unusual gifts. Early next
month the 2017 Artists and Makers Fair is at Lewes Town Hall on the
2nd of December (£1 entry, kids go free) and Kelly Hall, whose prints and
homewares feature iconic local landmarks, has a pop up gallery at 2 Fisher
Street from the 7th-9th December. [kellyhalldesigns.com]
