Metropolis II by Alastair Strachan (Image: Supplied) The paintings, developed over the last few years, began during the Covid pandemic when his world "grew smaller," prompting him to explore his nearby environment more thoroughly.
His artwork, which evolved from quick line drawings into small, exploratory collages, is inspired by simple, visual elements in his immediate environment.
This exhibition is open to visitors of all ages and will be on display until August 21.
