Artist Steve Randall is about to unveil his largest ever solo exhibition and it will be the first ever audio visual event to be held at The Royal Liver Building. The collection of paintings includes 35 never seen before works and they will be accompanied by a purpose written soundtrack, composed by Scottish musician Kenny MacLennan, aka W E S T H E A R T.
Steve turned to art later in life after his wife was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and since then through his arts initiative he has raised more than 43K for various charities across the Liverpool City Region. After first becoming known for nostalgic scenes depicting his home town of Kirkby, Steve credits his wife for his transition in pieces inspired by the nature of the Scottish highlands.
The music created by W E S T H E A R T is influenced by the same scenery, so a collaboration between the two artists felt like a natural progression. The soundtrack to the exhibition will be played on speakers throughout the event but those wanting a more personal experience are invited to bring their own headphones so they can listen to the music via their phone. Entry to the fully accessible event is free and it will be open to the public daily from 10am to 4pm.
