You are warmly invited to join us for the private viewing of the exhibition Specimen Days by artist Joss Cole at Unit 9 Gallery, Huddersfield, HD1 2BB
Friday 27th February (5pm - 7pm)

Specimen Days, is a collection of impressions of people, places, and events based on a conceptual link between literature (poetry), visual art and life. The title is taken from a collection prose text written by the poet Walt Whitman. The works aim is to be connected to poetry but not to follow the often cringe worthy pairing of the adjective, ‘poetic’, and painting. The paintings focus on areas such as rhythm, semantic content, visual and verbal puns and the real life ways both physical and visual that poetry can be considered a key discourse in painting.
