THING OF THE WEEK

HIGH ART… The level of regeneration going on around Manchester has inspired property professionals and artists alike. Painter Steve Bewsher’s latest exhibition in Altrincham is a range of cityscapes, showing demolition and construction at schemes which may be familiar to many. Although development sites are his muse, it’s not all good news, according to Steve: “Manchester looks like it’s developing but also deteriorating in other ways. Salford Quays used to be a derelict wasteland in the eighties, I preferred it then. For an artist it was a really interesting environment.” Top tip for the artists out there though; a Costa loyalty card is his favourite paint applicator: “It’s free, and it’s not often you get free tools.” Steve Bewsher will be exhibiting at Gateway Gallery, Hale, from Thursday 13 to Saturday 29 September
