A selection of Ted Holloway paintings and drawings spanning the course of his life
Eighty years ago, during the Second World War, artist Ted Holloway was conscripted to work in the coal mines as a Bevin Boy.
This exhibition brings together a selection of his paintings and drawings spanning the course of his life and journey from miner to art teacher and professional artist, and reveals the enduring influence of mining on his work as an artist.
