Eight artists shout Eng-er-land from the terraces as they take a brash, crash look at the thoughts and sentiments of modern day Englishness. From garden gnomes to English nature, royalty to national treasures the nation's psyche is laid bare.

Annabel Dover is painting all the birds of the British Isles some of which have alighted in the gallery in a faux woodland setting.
Russell Herron shows a series of celebrity kitch covers of Jordan from his Short History of Looking and Being Looked At.
Damian Le Bas’s paintings interweave pop heroes with Jack the-lad villains in an explosive contemporary mix.
Delaine Le Bas’s installation draws on her Romany heritage in a topsy turvey analysis of the evils lurking within Middle England.
Cathy Lomax paints Beatonesque posters of royal icons, overlaying them with stately slogans.
Cathie Pilkington’s installation travels beyond the potting shed to examine the secretive world of garden gnomes.
Stella Vine’s 7ft painting is of the nation’s favourite – Titmus.
Jo Wilmot’s English country gardens are painted as decaying treasures from a decadent era.
