A recently opened exhibition at the Manx Museum celebrates one artist’s lifelong fascination with the island's coastline.

Manxman Paul Parker has always been drawn to the captivating and ever-changing border that harbours the island's population. The solo exhibition 'Coastal Rhythms' features 90 brand new works curated in a variety of media.

Paul said: ‘This exhibition is very much a personal one. Since I was a teenager, walking the coast has been one of my favourite activities.

‘This show takes me back to my roots. I started painting and walking the coast 50 years ago, and it’s still one of my preferred things to do. The edges of the land where land meets sea and sea meets sky are constantly changing and full of drama, giving endless opportunities for paintings.’

Developed in partnership with Manx National Heritage, the works created for the exhibition have been completed over the past year.

Curator for Manx National Heritage, Matthew Richardson said: ‘It has been a great privilege to work with Paul on this exhibition, and I have waited with much anticipation over the past year to see each new piece in the series, as he has created these unique works in real time.

‘I was previously aware of some of the locations, but Paul often manages to surprise us with an unusual angle or aspect, or introduces something completely new. Wherever your favourite part of our coast is, visitors will find something to inspire them in the exhibition.'

Most of the pieces will be available to purchase, allowing visitors to take something home if it resonates with them.

The exhibition will run until January 3 and will be accessible from 9.30am to 4.30pm. Admission is free, although donations are always welcome.
