Bob Catchpole
Discover a bold new evolution from acclaimed Norfolk sculptor Bob Catchpole. Inspired by 12th-century Italian frescoes, this free exhibition at Mandell’s Gallery blends vibrant colour with structural steel in the heart of historic Elm Hill.
Step into the historic surroundings of Elm Hill this winter to experience the latest evolution of one of Norfolk’s most respected Sculptors. Recent Works by Bob Catchpole at Mandell’s Gallery unveils a new collection for the sculptor.
Following a period of travel in Verona, Catchpole became captivated by the graphic freedom found in 12th-century pre-High Gothic frescoes. In this exhibition, he transcribes these ancient, anonymous forms into modern abstract compositions. Visitors will see the recurring motif of the “head”
Whether you are a long-time follower of Catchpole’s work or a curious visitor exploring the cobbled streets of Norwich, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see how ancient Italian inspiration can be transformed into contemporary British sculpture.
Located in Mandell’s Gallery, a beautiful space on the city’s most famous medieval street, this show is a perfect addition to a day out exploring Norwich, ‘The City of Stories.’
