Two artists are starting exhibitions at the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro this month.

Amanda Williams Lucas calls her show Correspondences, and it runs from January 12 to February 3, with a private viewing on January 11.

In her work loosely painted, visual ambiguities make for connections conducive to interpretation and flights of fancy. The qualities of her paintings - the larger and simpler at least - promote anarchic responses. What it they were laid on the floor? Tested for their durability? Surrounded by the audience looking down on them, made to defy gravity but somehow accurately represent it, the circles slithering across what with can't contain them?

In this new work, dividers or poles are introduced, suggesting a different awareness of how the surface of the paintings is organised, creating larger and smaller sections, constants in an evolving language in which movement is calibrated, and where circles, strips and curves remain outside the canvas.

Amanda Munro's exhibition is called Short Stories, and is on from January 13 to February 3, with a private viewing on January 12.

Hers is a body of largely abstract work which looks at the narrative quality of everyday experience - how we move through time, sharing a moment, contemplating past and future events, crossing paths with others. The title refers to our own separate experiences of time. Meetings, friendships, chance encounters, the lasting impressions which momentary sights and sounds can create - glimpses caught, snatches of conversation over heard - all these contribute to the particular patterns which describe out separate stories.
