An exhibition depicting suicide may not be an obvious stop-off if you're in a positive New Year state of mind. However, Rachel Howard's paintings manage to be strangely compelling and beautiful, despite the subject matter and bleak show title. Using images taken from the media, the artist creates glossy portraits of tragic victims by pouring household paint over her canvases, incorporating original ink drawings and small pictures of unprepossessing objects that may or may not be connected to the deaths. On a lighter note, Howard's trademark vibrant abstracts can be viewed on the top floor of the gallery.
