Detail

Byker artist Karen Ruffles, aka Drawing in Dark's collection features local landmarks including the Tyne Bridge and Marden quarry nature reserve, as well as scenes from her time in Cornwall. The smaller works each showcase a single luminous droplet against moody, shadowy backgrounds, while larger pieces shine with a whole constellation of droplets, each reflecting the subject in a subtly different way. Each drawing captures a luminous mini landscape that existed for just a split second before the droplet fell.
