HUMPH Hack, exhibition curator at Malvern Theatres, discusses three artists currently being displayed during The Christmas Exhibition.

They used to say that, “If you stand in Piccadilly Circus long enough all the world will pass you by”.

This Christmas there is no need to go to the trouble and expense, because London’s come to Malvern in the form of some exceptional paintings by Patricia Clements.

She is showing six large London canvases along with another six smaller still-life works.

This is her first exhibition at Malvern Theatres but hopefully not her last.

It is a great opportunity to see paintings by this internationally recognised artist.

If it is a present for someone special, the theatre’s a good place to look.

An original painting - a piece made unique by the talent of the artist, is a very special gift.

Monika Umba produces works with magical themes.

Her domestic scale works contain enough thought provoking images to draw the attention and provide a talking point amongst your guests and family alike for years to come.

The skill with which she tells her stories is as impressive as the tales themselves.

The bonus of a visit to the Malvern Theatres exhibition spaces is that you will see all styles, prices and size of works from artists from across the country.

The third artist in the current show is Miriam Meek.

She draws inspiration from the sky - the way that the time of day, the time of year, and atmospheric conditions make half our visual world an ever changing kaleidoscope of colour.

Three more different artists it is difficult to imagine. You will be spoilt for choice.

The exhibition runs every day from Sunday, November 30 every day until Sunday, January 11.
