"ATU" comes from ancient Chinese, meaning 'of the spirit', and is also hip-hop acronym meaning Abstract Tribal Unique. Full of colour and life and magick, Hannah's paintings have been sold to North America and Europe, as well as all over the UK. Nature, and the natural world, has always been the inspiration for her pieces. Hannah is particularly interested in fractals, and the similarities between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Hannah finally arrived at making art with paint after a roundabout journey involving music, clairvoyance, and photography. Paintings are always dated and signed on the reverse so that buyers can hang them however they wish. All paintings are untitled as she does not want to suggest what to see in them and prefers to let your imagination run free. Hannah has exhibited paintings in various locations in Cumbria and Scotland in the past, in both solo exhibitions and joint exhibitions with Stuart Short. Stuart Short studied at Maidstone College of Art and after graduating worked at several design agencies until in 2005 he left employment to paint full time. Until 2018 this mainly consisted of commissioned portrait painting but the Covid era allowed Stuart to explore his own perceptions of light, colour and geometry through paint. Stuart now lives and works from his home studio at Lowther in The Lake District. He uses a method of painting whereby semi transparent layers of glazes are built up to achieve an overall hue, luminescence and depth to the painting. Stuart's interests also encompass neolithic and bronze age art and symbolism which inspire his sculpture and three dimensional work. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/blackburn/an-exhibition-of-paintings-by-hannah-appleyard-and-stuart-short/200028407573959 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions, fine-arts, workshops, dance, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Blackburn - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Exchange Street, BB1 7JN Blackburn, United Kingdom - **lat**: 53.7501 - **long**: -2.48403 - **full address**: Exchange Street, BB1 7JN Blackburn, United Kingdom, British Legion Operated Car Parks, Exchange Street, Blackburn, BB1 7JN, United Kingdom,Blackburn ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An exhibition of paintings by Hannah Appleyard and Stuart Short - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/f94157d4367d20f4563b0fcbddcc5de38e16821d516b13efed4a7fa0e4629349-rimg-w1200-h1697-dc2e1518-gmir?v=1751025179 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An exhibition of paintings by Hannah Appleyard and Stuart Short being held? - **A:** An exhibition of paintings by Hannah Appleyard and Stuart Short takes place on Fri, 27 Jun, 2025 at 10:30 am to Fri, 27 Jun, 2025 at 03:00 pm at Exchange Street, BB1 7JN Blackburn, United Kingdom, British Legion Operated Car Parks, Exchange Street, Blackburn, BB1 7JN, United Kingdom,Blackburn. - **Q**: Who is organizing An exhibition of paintings by Hannah Appleyard and Stuart Short ? - **A:** An exhibition of paintings by Hannah Appleyard and Stuart Short is organized by The Bureau - Centre for the Arts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
