The Bono Art Gallery is run by Sicilian born artist Roberto Bono who has been an Otley resident for the past 7 years. Roberto brings to life the vibrant colours and warm light of his native Mediterranean land to the green, wooded countryside of Yorkshire. Roberto’s abstract work is characteristic in that it is double sided and can be turned round to display a different painting.
Otley, famous for its public houses and other meeting places, clubs and markets, has a new meeting hall, a white space with strange musical windows inside, right at the centre of the community, where friends, visitors, observers, painters and other musicians can interact in a shared confusion and harmony of inner and outer worlds, and where perhaps for a moment it all fits together.
