Si is passionate about making the exhibition as accessible as possible to as many people as he can and engaging with audiences far beyond those who might traditionally frequent art galleries.

“It’s really important to me that the gallery is a friendly, welcoming, inclusive space. There is no obligation to purchase anything – I’d love everyone, whoever they are and whatever their circumstances to feel that they can come along and enjoy seeing my work and to feel comfortable enough to ask questions.”

Si Homfray has been working tirelessly behind the scenes for a long time creating and refining a totally new graphic design style.

This celebration of the natural world will be presented through a series of featured living things, the collected focus of the new works.

Saturday 2nd March, anytime between 10am and 5pm.
