CARLISLE ARTIST TO HOLD FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION AT CATHEDRAL
CARLISLE ARTIST TO HOLD FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION AT CATHEDRAL
Prism Arts’, a Cumbrian arts charity that promotes arts without barriers, is delighted to be presenting its first solo art exhibition, featuring Carlisle-based artist, Harvey Tye.
Harvey Tye: a solo art exhibition – experience landscapes, animals and humankind through a unique perspective is Harvey’s first solo art exhibition and will take place at the historical Fratry Hall within the grounds of Carlisle Cathedral. The exhibition will be held from Tuesday 18 – Saturday 29October 2022 and is open daily from 9am – 3.30pm. It is free to enter but donations are welcomed.
Harvey has been working and collaborating within Prism Arts for almost a decade.
A talented illustrator, he can lend his skills to a wide variety of subject matters. His personal favourites explore creatures, both familiar and magical, humans with intricate detail as well as full impact vistas. In his words, “I like to create shapes in my art. My favourite things to draw are buildings, landscapes and cartoons.”
Harvey’s work is always visually impactful, making use of bold lines and strong colour palettes. He has an inimitable style that is instantly recognisable, whatever the application of his drawings.
Harvey has shared his work in group shows across Cumbria in venues such as Tullie House (currently featuring in the Travelling Stories Exhibition) and the Wordsworth Centre in Grasmere. His theatre production design has been toured across Cumbria and the North of England.
Speaking on the event, Harvey says: “I’m proud and chuffed to have my own solo exhibition. I’m looking forward for seeing it all installed.”
A private view will take place on the evening of Monday 17 October.
Prism Arts is a leading inclusive-arts charity based in Carlisle that provides creative opportunities for young people and adults with learning disabilities, autism, or additional needs. This is the second project delivered in partnership with Carlisle Cathedral.
This project wouldn’t be possible without generous funding by Carlisle Cathedral, Carlisle City Council, Cumbria County Council, National Lottery Community Fund, Arts Council of England, and the Esme Fairburn Foundation.
