Gods and Monsters is the latest exhibition to be unveiled at Cockington Court

Gods and Monsters is the theme for the Spring exhibition at Cockington Court. The exhibition starts on Saturday 2 April and will run until 22 May in THE GALLERY @Cockington Court. Based on fantasy, science fiction, myths, and legends, it has been devised to have the wow factor! It offers the chance for families to have fun and explore sculptures, paintings, ceramics, jewellery, prints and more. Join us as we escape into a world of creativity, mystery and make believe.  

Speaking about the exhibition, curator Marissa Wakefield also Cockington Court Director said: “Interest from local artists has been fantastic and many have created new work especially. We are excited to reveal that part of the exhibition includes an incredible life-sized Neptune sculpture, along with a mesmerising 6ft dragon mid-flight, crafted out of driftwood. Both pieces have been created by the talented Zen Wood Designs. In addition to this we have wonderful creations from Anna Fitzgerald, Malcom Curley, Verity Newman and Nikki Ella Whitlock, not forgetting a huge giant 3d mural by our very own talented artist in residence James Murch.”
