Stockport Art Gallery is hosting a major art exhibition featuring the works of local artist Helen Clapcott. 

The exhibition will feature more than 100 works, spanning the breadth of Helen's long and impressive career. 

It will run from 28 September 2024 to 25 January 2025. 

Helen was born in Blackpool, and moved to Stockport when she was 10. She is known for her landscapes of industrial Stockport, rendered in light, ethereal colour. 

Art critic Andrew Lambirth said of Helen's work: "If Lowry first opened our eyes to the beauties of the industrial scene, Clapcott is chronicling its last chapter: the decline and fall of a great cityscape, bathed in pellucid light." 

Andrew is also producing a book on Helen's works, available to pre-order HERE.

Since graduating from the Royal Academy of Arts in 1978, Helen has exhibited at many prestigious locations, including Scolar Fine Art and the Osborne Samuel Gallery in London's Mayfair.

Her upcoming exhibition at the War Memorial Gallery will feature some of her flagship pieces; The Power Station, The Last Carnival and Brinksway 1979, Before The Motorway.
