An Oasis of incredible art in beautiful surrounds, if you haven’t yet come in from the cold and discovered Walsall Gallery it’s well worth your attention this February. Wilderness is amongst three new exhibitions opening at the gallery this month and features paintings, drawings and film installations from an array of artists, showcasing a collection of works that are inspired by, or connected with nature. With contrasting depictions of barren, icy landscapes, and gritty, monumental volcanoes, Wilderness displays our stunning planet in its most authentic states. Also exhibiting is Mike Nelson’s ‘Lionheart’ installation. Having been nominated for the Turner Prize twice, Nelson constitutes a ‘big-name’, yet his name doesn’t usurp his work, as Lionheart proves to be as peculiar as it is intriguing. In direct contrast to Wildernesses expansive works this is a cluttered installation full of animal skins and beer cans.

Wilderness: Fri 2 Feb – Sun 6 May. Lionheart: Fri 2nd Feb – Sun 3rd Jun. New Art Gallery Walsall, Gallery Square, Walsall WS2 8LG www.thenewartgallerywalsall.org.uk
