A Portsmouth-born multi-media artist is exhibiting some of his work at the City Museum and Records office until March 2008. A hugely talented, self-taught musician and film-maker, Barry 'Baz' Hobbs produces work with outstanding social comment inspired by history, religion and consumerism.
'Portsmouth - an artist's Impression' is a multi-media show featuring video and paintings exploring three themes:
- Postcards from the Front describes Portsmouth's rich history as an important naval port and a popular seaside and holiday resort
- Downtown, showing how Portsmouth has become a vibrant and modern multicultural city
- An Artist's Impression - contemporary and understandable abstract work that explores Portsmouth's natural surroundings
David Evans from the museum service said: "The exhibition aims to give the viewer an informative, thought provoking experience, enhancing their awareness of local surroundings while being rooted in an art-based programme."
