Having graduated in Fine Art at Leeds University, Stephen undertook a painting residency in the north yorkshire village of Hovingham between 2008/9. His work demonstrates a keen interest in the history of landscape, in the concerns of contemporary painting, and presents an experimental approach to materials and techniques. This exhibition features work produced during the residency and subsequent responses to the experience of working in the varied and inspirational north yorkshire countryside.

Book launch of ‘peaks and troughs’ by Jack Piers Scott
Wednesday 13th January, 6.30
'peaks and troughs’ is a compilation of thoughts, dreams, poems, overheard conversations and people, spanning the last year of my life, and after what feels like a long time since I started compiling it, the launch is finally here. Next Wednesday the 13th there will be a small event at theartmarket in the Merrion Centre to commemorate this momentous occasion. With vegan food (warm soup) and live music we should have a pretty good time, and all of the money from the sale of the book goes towards the World Land Trust so we can do some good as well. Come down if you can make it through the snow!

this Saturday afternoon and join historian Ben Waddington on a guided typographic and architectural tour around the Merrion Market.Ben Waddington ( http://www.baskervilleproject.com/node/50) will be giving a tour of the typography and architecture of the Market open and free to any member of the public. He has a history of doing these tours around the country particularly in his hometown of Birmingham to raise the profile and interest in the cultural heritage and identity of UK cities.
The idea is that his tour will help people see the market with new eyes getting people to rediscover it's hidden charms whilst hopefully increasing footfall and raising the profile of theartmarket project, the Merrion Market and the Merrion Centre in general.
