William hogarth   absurd perspectives

The third Vectis Decorative & Fine Arts Society lecture of the season will be on 17th December at Quay Arts.

Bertie Pearce. Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star talks about The Art of Visual Deception: Optical Illusion, Camouflage and Trompe L'Oeil

This is an in depth look at the profound mystery of perception.

There is an eternal fascination with the unfathomable, the weird ambiguous state of seeing things which are not there – yet are there. It carries us back into that long gone deeply missed period of our childhood when magic was common place and when the boundary between the possible and the impossible was very blurred.

The lectures begin at 8pm but the cafe is open from 6.30 if anyone wants to take advantage of a light meal or drinks before the lecture.

The cost to visitors is £7.
