Feature: Preview - Exhibiton - Norman Cornish: The Early Years from February 14-March 24 at Kings Place

Published: 2 February, 2012

Norman Cornish, who started work aged 14 down a mine notoriously known as “The Butcher’s Shop”, eventually found fame as an artist for his compelling scenes – recorded over 33 years – of the lives of the men who worked the coal-face.
At 91, he is still painting, but the exhibition which opens later this month at Kings Place, in King’s Cross, celebrates the work of his early years.

• Norman Cornish: The Early Years runs from February 14-March 24 at Kings Place, York Way, N1, Monday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 12-6pm, admission free, 020 7520 1485, www. kingsplace.co.uk

• The gallery will be closed on Thursday February 23 from 1-6pm for events linked to Jewish Book Week
