Event overview:

With a string of prestigious art awards from Japan and the UK, young local artist Sam Marsh has rocketed onto the contemporary art scene since graduating from Brighton University with a First in Fine Art Painting in 2008.

For two weeks you will have the chance to come and see inside the imagination of Sam Marsh's B-movie inspired work and be greeted by a three meter high monster and a series of limited edition mini monster paintings.

This exhibition of intriguing and arresting artworks is a must see for anyone living in the south west who is interested in contemporary art today!

Alongside the exhibition, Sam will be holding art talks and workshops with local schools in Bath including the City of Bath College. Two local film makers will also be making a short film about the exciting new show.

Sam says: "Bath is starting to enjoy more contemporary events that larger neighbouring cities such as Bristol and London have long benefited from. The trend of Bath being sometimes overlooked is changing and this show hopes to demonstrate to local residents that Bath can be home to accessible contemporary art to be enjoyed by all."
