Patrick Shanahan / Rupture series
Feature Artwork
Patrick Shanahan’s photographs of Britain and Europe investigate the contemporary landscape, offering seductive and unsettling images of modern urban and rural environments.
'Rupture' at Kestle Barton, Helford, is his first solo exhibition in Cornwall and covers an area very close to his home - from Falmouth on the south coast, to Portreath on the north coast
and up to Perranporth. The hyperreal images simultaneously convey a sublime beauty with the certain knowledge that they represent a landscape toxic with the remnants of mining waste

The Proof Directory gives a local perspective to the values of Proof, so we can engage with both radical and robust discussion about art, and grassroots art making.
Our sponsorship of Exeter Contemporary Open and the Broomhill Art & Sculpture prize is part of our engagement with local initiatives.
All the galleries and organisations featured in the Directory have been invited because we believe they share key values with Proof - a commitment to supporting
artists, showcasing and commissioning high quality art. If you share these values and would like to join us, please contact us. Our next Directory will be published in September.
Meanwhile, our roving correspondents will be writing about local exhibitions, artists and events: Bristol / Devon / Dorset / Cornwall.
We always welcome contributions and feedback.
