This collection of new works are epithets, love letters, refrains, reverberation - operating simultaneously as stealth bombers and jumbo jets.

Each week, the paintings hung in the gallery will be changed, echoing the shifting nature of memory and connections to visual language. Visitors are invited to share perspectives and attitudes to painting as the space shifts and Pettitt reveals further facets of his creative process. In turn, the paintings are in direct dialogue with a selection of drawings exhibited in the space, a way of working integral to Pettitt’s studio practice.

This exhibition forms part of the second edition of the Freelands Painting Fellowship, a two-year pilot programme of Painting Fellowships in partnership with three universities across the UK, Bath Spa University, University of Brighton and Manchester Metropolitan University.
