Cultural pioneers and lost workers form the subject matter for artists at the Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax.
Beautiful People features David Hancock's acrylics - including two composite panoramas about 25 feet long- enable viewers almost to walk into the spaces they create. The pictures are Hancock's tribute to "cultural pioneers", rebels who practice their own concepts within society.
Susan Blunt presents an installation of photographs and artefacts from her two years' work on a "sculptural intervention". She aimed to revive The Lost Workers, an installation by renowned Swiss artist Christian Boltanski of items once owned by workers at Crossley's carpet mill.
Still-lifes by Sheila Tilmouth are described as "luminous and precise works" created using transluscent oils on gesso panels, inspired as much by surrealism as by the Dutch School.
All three displays run from January 12 to April 7. The galleries are open every day fom 10am-5pm.
