Wonderful Art Gallery, Hidden in the Rocks

Its not very often that I venture out mid week in a gale to visit a gallery but last night was an exception. There were other people wondering along the Hoe, who had braved the elements to see the gale battering the Sound,  filling the  lido with huge waves. Tucked under the the sea wall literally cut out of the rocks is Trerise Gallery a new and exciting venture being managed by Paula Carnell. Originally the old changing rooms for those brave souls who bathe in the sea, the space have been cleverly converted into a gallery and workshop space. The opening was well attended,  the exhibition of work  by Peter Orrock is excellently curated and well suited to the unique setting. The walls of the gallery have been left as exposed brick and rock, it gives the space a solid feel. The work is exhibited on ‘floating’ panels that lift the work off the stone walls and gives it a special feeling, a very cleaver idea. The next time your are in town this new venture is well worth a visit as the terrace cafe above the gallery offers some of the best views in town and a great americano.
