Extract from the Gallery press release:

We are delighted to announce our reopening following our temporary closure over the Covid-19 lockdown period. The group exhibition we will be presenting is a celebration of spring, summer, renewal, and the landscape – both real and imagined. The title refers to the 1934 Dylan Thomas poem The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower, a powerful invocation of the spirit of energy and the will to recover and regrow, that exists in all of nature… We present the work of established & respected artists at the height of their game, including the delicately rendered and highly complex surfaces of Luke Elwes’ watercolours, which Elwes makes both in and with the landscape, washing & infusing the paint with water from the Landermere marshes.
