Winter Days is a group exhibition of a collection of creative responses on the themes surrounding the season of winter. Winter signifies a time of hibernation, introversion, introspection, foraging, going within… Winter is represented through colour and hue - primarily blues and greys. Winter is depicted through light and varying shades of darkness. For some of us, winter is about sitting in front of a fire with mulled wine and a couple of cats!

Musicians in history have written songs about winter symbolising tumultuous relationships, heartbreak, and lamentation. Artists in history painted wintery scenes using nature to mirror human emotions.

In Greek mythology, Demeter, the goddess of the Earth created winter. In Persian mythology the winter solstice symbolised birth and has been celebrated for thousands of years. In Welsh mythology, a battle between mythological lovers represented the contest between summer and winter.
