Lucien (and Otto the dog) will be at the gallery to answer your questions and to tell you more about the exhibition. If you are interested in art, but want to know more about the show, this is the perfect opportunity for you. We will talk about Lucien’s influences, use of materials and the processes and techniques that go in to producing his works.
Coffee and refreshments will be served free of charge.
There is no need to book in advance, this is a drop-in event.
