Oceans Apart Oceans Apart is gallery dedicated to contemporary painting

Oceans Apart is a gallery dedicated to contemporary painting and seeks to present and champion the diversity of painting today in relation to current critical debates and discourse. Our intention is to bring previously unseen work to the Salford and Manchester area, create new audiences and provide a platform for artists in the local region.

PAINTERWRITER has been a joy. Thank you all. There are so many aspects of the show which we will continue to think about as the project continues. Memories, conversations, (new/other) approaches, challenges (quirks, of the best kind) and persistences will help us navigate the next phase. It seems there is hunger for the painter-writer 🤍
