A TV cameraman and abstract artist is bringing together his creative work in an interactive exhibition to tickle all of the senses.
Karl Coates has covered major news stories during his career but his love for abstract art is taking centre stage at an exhibition at the House of Blah Blah in Middlesbrough.
Describing the contents of his exhibition, he said: "Exploring all the body's senses you will be smelling freshly baked bread , tasting jelly babies , touching leather, seeing art work and listening and being choreographed to the music of Ennio Morricone, or at least that's the plan. On show will be almost my entire life's work of around 130 pieces and this Exhibition is something I have dreamed about doing since I started taking my Abstract Art seriously many years ago."
The exhibition runs until Saturday (November 21) at the House of Blah Blah, in Exchange House, Exchange Square, Middlesbrough.
