APS Gallery presents The Open: Bowls of Fruit ⋆ Leeds Star

The bowl of fruit has been a source of inspiration from the 16th and 17th century.

Offering artists a way to hone their skills (especially painting and drawing) with objects that remain still and don’t move, it’s a traditional subject that is frequently taught and allows for experimentation. This exhibition celebrates paintings and sculptures that showcase fruit, flowers and bowls. So, come and see our still life arrangements.

Uva Wang, The Open: Bowls of Fruit Artist said:

“’Bowls of Fruit’ take me back to the summer when I was a student. Keeping the original intention, I am really glad I can have a chance to be a part of this exhibition. Thanks APS for hosting this amazing exhibition.”

Come and support our collection of over 20 talented artists at the launch event on Friday 6th October 2023, 1pm – 5pm. Artworks in the exhibition will be available to purchase as well as items from the APS shop. So come and get inspired and buy artworks from talented artists. Exhibition continues until 27th October 2023.
