Art What’s On

Detail

The first UK institutional solo exhibition by Anna-Marie Gallares, a Filipina artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The exhibition features two bodies of work, the monumental painted tapestry A Year In My Life in the central space and four recent large-scale paintings displayed on the exterior walls. A Year In My Life was produced by Gallares for her BA Fine Art degree show in 2023. This marks the first time the tapestry has been exhibited publicly. Inspired by illustrative storytelling, Gallares’ 18ft tapestry is filled with striking and vivid patterns depicting 20 childhood memories from her first year in the UK.
