The distance between pop culture and high culture has been bridged by many well-known artists over the last century, but there remains an intriguing disjunction in visual art where one end of the scale is seen as low-brow nerdish kitch and the other as pretentiously elitist investment art.The new exhibition at The Left Hand brings together two artists - Bec Setnicarr and Colin Edgell - who are engaged by pop culture but transform it through their own independent, inventive approach to picture making.

Beth Setnicarr is fascinated with images made by the obsessive fans of comic and cartoon art, which she uses as a launching point for her own more abstracted, patterned and formally inventive pictures.

Colin Edgell takes an obsessive interest in everyday fashion objects - sneakers and denim - and creates colourful, expressive images through unexpected, lateral (and sometimes nostalgic) cross-connections.

 Please feel welcome to come along to drinks on the first evening (from 5.00pm) or to see the show at leisure over its three weekends.

By the way, The Left Hand now has a website - www.thelefthand.website - where details about the gallery and its current show can be found, as well as images from past exhibitions.
