Viktor Tilson
Free entry
Viktor Tilson is an abstract artist who lives and works in Gloucestershire. As an untrained artist, he brings a unique perspective to his pieces, making him somewhat of an outsider in the art world. His primary source of inspiration comes from music, ranging from rock to classical, and he allows his subconscious to guide the shapes and forms within his paintings.
Viktor has showcased his work online since the late 1990’s. However, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to view his work first-hand and close-up in a public space.

Claire Baker - the final showcase
Free entry
The ceramic work of artist Claire Baker draws inspiration from the 'aged' & 'distressed beauty' of Miss Haversham's Wedding Table in Dicken’s Great Expectations as well as the darker, more curious elements of Victorian life. A love of theatre and Victorian Gothic combined with a life spent exercising a vivid imagination has encouraged the particular British peculiarity of Claire’s ceramic work.
This showcase exhibition of Claire’s ceramics with the final show of her clay work. During the lockdown of 2020, she began designing cards, created via digital collage, incorporating her trademark themes of eccentric Victoriana. In a similar process to her former ceramic work, Claire’s collages build layer upon layer, exploring and experimenting with pattern, colour and texture.
