Local artist Adrian Pritchard's paintings use the forces of gravity to channel the paint over canvases to create numerous puddle paintings, which vary from the tactile and sumptuous to the smooth and fluid. He “Investigates the nature of Matter” via “Viscous Substances, entropy and symmetry”, meaning that he pours, spins and throws paint at stuff and it LOOKS COOL.
