THE Gallery @ Bovey Paradiso is staging its next exhibition from next Thursday, July 14.

Running until Saturday, August 13, Up Close is an exhibition of photography, drawings and paintings exploring the world of small objects in exquisite detail.

One of the exhibitors is photographer Martin Prothero, who creates stunning images exploring the beauty of everyday objects such as a piece of fruit, leaves and seed pods. He uses a technique called Slowlight, which produces pictures reminiscent of the Dutch Masters of the 17th Century. His meticulous drawings will also be on display.

Martin’s work will be alongside art from a some of the best local artists who also depict the beauty of the smaller things in our world.

The gallery at the top of Fore Street in Bovey Tracey is open Thursday and Friday from 11am to 4pm and Saturday from 11am to 5pm (10am to 5pm on market days). Entry is free.
