at Gallery II 
Landscape and Figures
Paintings by Jim Smith & Paul Copsey
The environment features prominently in the work of Jim Smith and Paul Copsey
In Jim's work it is landscapes and dreamscapes - sometimes brooding, often melancholic, often the Bradford landscape where he grew up. In Paul's it is relationship of individuals to their environment, delving into their psychological states and social situations.
Gallery II, Chesham Building. Open 11am - 3pm weekdays FREE!
New season of exhibitions, theatre and music will be available from the Arts on Campus website soon.
