‘From Pets to Portugal’
Saturday 4th May – Saturday 29th June 2024
Derrick Spence returns to Bassetlaw Museum with a retrospective exhibition of oil paintings titled ‘From Pets to Portugal’. This series of artworks, produced over a time span of six decades, covers a wide range of subjects with a special focus on animals and landscapes. Derrick is fascinated by big cats, especially tigers, but smaller animals, sometimes in the form of commissions or gifts, are another source of subjects. Other favourite themes include scenic landscapes of the Algarve and Portugal, along with the beautiful East Coast of Britain.
