On now! Victor Pasmore (1908-1998) was one of the greatest British artists of his generation. His pioneering development of abstract art is considered one of the most significant achievements in 20th century British art. Due to current circumstances we do not have a fixed closing date for this exhibition. It will be on display until at least 31 October.
On now! Sir Quentin Blake returns to Hastings Contemporary with a prophetic show of new drawings, paintings, and a large-scale mural he has described as ‘his Guernica’, as raw, original and unlikely as anything he has produced in his eight decades of artistic creativity.

Can you guess what we are looking at through one of the kaleidoscopes which are available to purchase from our Shop?
Unlike classic kaleidoscopes, which make patterns from small pieces inside the instrument, these teleidoscopes form kaleidoscopic patterns from objects around you.
We have got two designs available: Edward Munch: The Scream, 1910 and Mediterranean Kaleidoscope illustrated by Maria Dek.
They are lots of fun for children (over 3) and for adults.

For Lowry, the sea’s unpredictable nature made it a perfect metaphor for what he called 'the battle of life', and was a subject that he returned to throughout his career. He was fascinated by the sea, and spoke of "the vastness of it and the terribleness of it…I often wonder what would happen if the tide didn’t turn, and the sea came on and on and on and on, what would the place be like, ...
