Small moments of everyday life are taking centre stage in a new art exhibition.
The show is now open at Art Centre Washington (ACW) with Present Continuous, Present Imperfect, the second solo exhibition by painter, curator and art instructor Rory Williams, running until April 25.
Rory said: “I first exhibited at ACW in the 2024 Spotlight Open Exhibition with my painting Durham Miners’ Gala (2024), which was awarded second place in the People’s Choice vote.
“This opportunity led to the privilege of presenting my solo exhibition here.
“I am very grateful to the Arts Centre for their immense support in bringing this exhibition to life and for allowing me full curatorial freedom.
“The final result is everything I had envisioned and hoped for.”
Rory, who completed a master’s degree in Art Museum and Gallery Studies at Newcastle University, plans to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at the same university in the upcoming year.
He leads weekly art classes at The Customs House in South Shields and regularly teaches at other venues across Tyne and Wear.
Matt Blyth, culture and heritage officer at ACW, said: “Rory creates artwork around ordinary, often unnoticed moments that make up the everyday, bringing together paintings, prints, and drawings that linger on the small, unguarded moments of daily life.
“We’re delighted to have played a role in Rory’s development as an artist, and we’re sure his workshop here will be very popular.”
