FRONT is an exhibition of new work by artist Claire Dorsett at STOCK in Levenshulme. But who is Claire? Where does she come from? Why does she make art?? The truth is STOCK doesn’t really know, but what it does know is that she loves to paint and makes a lot of paintings. This exhibition is a display of some of those very paintings.
