Jen Orpin at Contemporary Six
Jen Orpin will show four pieces in Contemporary Six’s exhibition “From Impressionism to Industrialism: Valette, Lowry & Beyond” with a private view on March 19 and the show running through April 23 — the announcement was posted March 15 post. If you like visually rich, textile‑inspired work, this is a compact, date‑specific pick for spring gallery visits.
The four works by Jen Orpin in the Contemporary Six listing are titled "Petrichor Daze", "No War but Class War", "The Rain Came" and "Bridge Over the Silk Road". (contemporarysix.co.uk) Contemporary Six’s online overview gives a listed preview time of 5.30pm–8pm and places the gallery at 155 Ashley Road, Hale, Cheshire, WA14 2UW. (contemporarysix.co.uk) The show explicitly pairs historic paintings by L.S. Lowry and Adolphe Valette with work by living Northern artists, noting it marks the 50th anniversary of Lowry’s death and the 150th anniversary of Valette’s birth. (contemporarysix.co.uk) The exhibition catalogue on the gallery site lists multiple L.S. Lowry works with asking prices (examples include "Ebbw Vale, 1960" at £23,750 and "Lake Scene – Buttermere, 1960" at £26,500), highlighting the commercial scale alongside the contemporary entries. (contemporarysix.co.uk) Jen Orpin’s professional CV and recent profiles record international fair appearances and note a Manchester Art Gallery acquisition, with her work now displayed in the museum’s Lowry and Valette room.
