The exhibition shows a rich variety of works spanning the last 100 years. Each room in the gallery holds a different energy and atmosphere and the viewer finds themselves buzzing with the zest of the abstract works and then brought gently down to earth, lulled into the soft rhythms of nature before moving to a place of deep emotion and nostalgia described by performance and dance.
