Celebrating its first-year anniversary, Tanya Leighton Gallery is pleased to present ‘Somewhere Near The Black Mountain Hills’, an exhibition by Sean Edwards and Dan Rees - two artists at the forefront of a new generation of British artists. Both Edwards and Rees share a specific understanding of the underlying aesthetics of Conceptual Art. The work displays a common interest in linking the personal and anecdotal to a wider art historical context. The artists employ a light-hearted and humorous approach, incorporating the everyday and ephemeral subject matter into their work.

Please note that Dan Rees' ‘Mid Afternoons and Early Evenings’, a performance in the basement of the gallery, will take place for the opening on Friday, July 3rd,  6 - 9 pm, and every Saturday, 12 - 6 pm, for the duration of the show.
