AN exhibition of work by one of the world’s most high profile calligraphers is to take place at Settle’s Gallery on the Green.
Seb Lester’s solo show of very small prints and original art is called Tiny – which led him to search for the smallest art gallery in the UK.
Settle’s Gallery on the Green is housed in a former BT telephone box; it opened in 2009, has an ever changing exhibition and is believed to be the smallest art gallery in the world.
Seb’s Tiny show runs at the gallery and online from 3pm on Saturday, August 17 until 3 pm on Thursday, August 22.
New prints, all priced at £24 plus postage, will be available to buy online from 3 pm on August 17 at www.seblester.com/shop The exhibition is mainly an online event, but Seb will be at the gallery on Saturday, from 1 pm to 3 pm to say hello and show the art in person.
He said: “I’m delighted with the new work; it’s some of my best to date, and the new mini-print format of die-stamped and embossed printing is extraordinary.”
