Unlikely heroes featurein spring exhibitions

New work by artists including Mark Murphy, John Baldwin, Martin Waters and Ian C Taylor is featured in the spring exhibitions at Dean Clough Galleries, Halifax, which open on Saturday, February 11.

Also featured will be 80 works, many of them prepared specially for the exhibition, by Andrew Crane who combines textured surfaces with an interest in typography.

Mark Murphy has been exhibiting in Yorkshire for more than 30 years and his recent interest in portraiture has inspired guest curator Doug Binder to devote two rooms to his new and past achievements.
