EXHIBITIONS
TREVOR BURGESS: WRAPS AND STACKS
South Quay Gallery and Learning Centre, Great Yarmouth. 2 to 24 May 2026
Artist talk and exhibition tour: Thursday 21 May 6.30pm
My series of large canvases Wraps and Stacks are being shown together for the first time at South Quay Gallery, Great Yarmouth
The Wraps and Stacks emerged out of a series of paintings of markets around the world, drawing on trips in Latin America, Europe, India and North Africa.The catalyst for the paintings was an experience I had in the central market of the remote Argentinian town of San Juan. In one section of the market were a series of piled up stacks of goods and paraphernalia that evoked a warehouse art installation of large-scale sculptures. The bound-up, mysterious objects evoked powerful forces of production and consumption, distribution and waste. I began to imagine a series of large canvases and to seek out such objects in other markets.
The paintings are displayed in four galleries across two floors in the newly opened South Quay Gallery and Learning Centre, Great Yarmouth, a Georgian townhouse that has been lovingly restored as a gallery and centre for the community by Pete and Moira Huggins.
