The Albany Gallery, Cardiff
Until Sat 23 Apr
The Little Picture Show takes its name not from its synonymous link with the cinema but from the size of the paintings themselves. The exhibition houses paintings by over 60 artists, all of whom have created small paintings for this unique showing. By exhibiting smaller pieces of work by established artists, they are considerably less expensive. With the paintings starting from as little as £50, it makes the art more appealing to people who are short on both space and money.
The size of the paintings means the variety of art on display is vast. Renowned artists who will be exhibiting at the show include: Lindsay Madden, who uses the human form as her inspiration and paints the figures on old school rulers and protractors; successful greeting card designer Louise Rawlings, whose paintings tell a story with child-like simplicity and Luned Aaron, who captures the gentle moments of family in his dreamlike paintings.
There are two great landscape painters whose style, unique to them, will allow you to view the world from a different perspective. Sarah Carvell is based in and inspired by North Wales and Peter Wileman uses colour to express movement in his abstract scenes. The artworks encompass all tastes from experiential and abstract to the realist and controversial, leaving visitors free to discover something new in every little space.
