Murders, Myths & Millions...
A scruffy splodgers rough guide to art with local artist Guy Manning!
Art is bloody, messy, and sublime. Artists have stolen, forged, and even killed, their works sparking lengthy debates and attracting sky-high bids.
Guy, once a barman, window cleaner, and teacher, now an artist, delivers a talk on the wild, rebellious side of this timeless realm. Great art? It’s got no manners!
In 2018, Guy Manning and his wife, Eloise, opened The Art Room in Tenby, a "scruffy but welcoming" shop and studio located on Upper Frog Street, Tenby. This space showcases Guy's oil paintings and ink drawings.
