Художник Сэмюэл Томас открывает первую за два года персональную выставку в Норвиче

An artist is inviting visitors to share what inspires them and connect with his latest work. Samuel Thomas, a self-taught artist based in Cromer, will hold his first solo exhibition in more than two years at the Old Piano Shop Gallery on St Benedicts Street in Norwich from September 14 to 20. He said: "I’m really excited to be hosting my own exhibition again. "It’s been a while since the last one, so this feels like a great opportunity to bring a selection of my paintings together and meet people face-to-face. "I’d love visitors to come along, see the artwork and tell me what inspires them in their own lives—whether that’s art or another creative outlet." The exhibition will feature a collection of original paintings and limited-edition prints. Mr Thomas will be present at the gallery each day from 10am to 6pm to meet visitors and discuss his work. Much of his 17-year career has centred around the Norfolk coastline, which continues to influence his vibrant pop art style and use of reclaimed materials.
