Yet the seasons are still visible in the trees th at line our streets and parks: fresh green leaves in spring\, the fullness of summer foliage\, the changing colours of autumn and the bare branches of winter. CANOPY invites us to pause and notice these changes.\n\nMadelei ne Pires\n\nFor Madeleine Pires\, the natural world is a constant source o f visual and spiritual inspiration. The curves of branches\, leaves\, clou ds and the movement of wind through foliage become ways of exploring deepe r connections between nature and human experience.\n\nHer relationship wit h the natural world also extends beyond the canvas. In Liverpool\, Madelei ne created her Flower Streets Murals\, transforming overlooked terrace end s in Kirkdale into vibrant\, inspirational paintings. The project brings c olour and imagery inspired by nature into the neighbourhood\, reflecting h er belief in art's ability to affect how people experience their surroundi ngs and bring hope.\n\nHazel Thomson\n\nHazel Thomson is a multi-award-win ning artist whose work has been exhibited and sold internationally. Her ri chly textured paintings are built through layers of paint and marks made w ith a palette knife\, creating a sculptural surface across the canvas.\n\n Combining elements of realism\, contemporary painting and impressionism\, she aims to capture the atmosphere of landscapes across all four seasons a nd different times of day\, giving the viewer a sense of calm and solitude \, as though they are physically present within the scene.\n\nRob Edmondso n\n\nFor Rob Edmondson\, landscape begins with a strong connection to plac e. His representational paintings draw on landscapes across the UK as well as places he has visited abroad\, including New Zealand\, the USA and the Mediterranean. Composition is central to his practice\, while colour\, li ght and movement help him capture what he describes as the 'soul' or mood of each special place.\n\nHis work is rooted in close observation but is u ltimately concerned with more than simply recording what a place looks lik e\, it is about conveying something of how that place feels.\n\nThe works in CANOPY explore trees not in isolation\, but as part of wider environmen ts: places of solitude and contemplation\, celebrations of colour and life \, and reminders of the living world that surrounds us and the unstoppable march of time.\n\nAll artworks are for sale.\n\nExhibition continues Frid ay 23rd October - Saturday 5th December\n\nVISIT: Tuesday - Saturday\, 10: 00 - 18:00\n\nContact Us / Visit Us / Find Out More\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2026/10/canopy-dot-art.webp CATEGORIES:Exhibitions LOCATION:dot-art Gallery\, 14 Queen Avenue\, off Castle St.\, Liverpool\, L 2 4TX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.406693;-2.991183 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=14 Queen Avenue\, off Castl e St.\, Liverpool\, L2 4TX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100 ;X-TITLE=dot-art Gallery:geo:53.406693,-2.991183 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20261025T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
