An exhibition of mixed media pictures by Mac Dunlop will be on display at Falmouth's Jam Records next week.

Mac's visual work combines modern digital media with his painting and writing skills. This most recent collection, on display from Friday November 20 until January 15, is an array of dramatically coloured imagery combined with poetry on the theme of love.

Mac said: "Ever since working on my first exhibition of digital imagery "True to Scale" in 2008 - a series of fanciful photo adventures that celebrate the King Harry Ferry, I've been wrestling with how to involve digital techniques into my painting."

"I wanted the clean lines that digital production makes possible. At the same time I wanted to contrast mechanical printing with the more expressive lines that you get in handwriting and sketching freehand. Bringing them together creates a unique tension in the same way that placing a particular colour beside another can create a particular mood or atmosphere."

Mac is a professional member of the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) and works with various Cornish Cultural organisations - Hall for Cornwall, Falmouth Art Gallery, The Exchange and Newlyn Art Gallery, Kernow Education and Arts Partnership (KEAP) the Indpendent School of Art.

Mac features in the newly published collection of 26 Cornish writers, A Space to Write, an intimate account and photographic study of writers and their writing spaces in Cornwall.

He founded The Poetry Point in 2008 a website portal to visual art, poetry and spoken word events in Cornwall and the South West. Mac also works as a radio producer, his radio shows air on Cornwall¹s The Source Fm, and on London¹s Resonance FM.
