Artists from a Norfolk day centre for adults with learning difficulties will be showcased at a new exhibition starting at King's Lynn Arts Centre today.

Based at Walcott on the north Norfolk coast, Barrington Farm allows its residents to express themselves through a variety of visual arts from painting and drawing to textiles and printmaking.

Each individual can communicate thoughts through their work that may otherwise be difficult to articulate.

The Barrington Farm exhibition is running at the same time as two others. The latest print exhibition from the Southbank Centre's Hayward Touring features two collections of works by one of the most influential artists of recent decades, Louise Bourgeois, who died in 2010.

Best known for her powerful, emotionally charged sculptures, most of the French-American artist's work dealt with strongly autobiographical themes, invoking her childhood emotions of loneliness, desire, anxiety and jealousy. Autobiographical Series (1994) consists of 14 etchings illustrating some of her deepest thoughts and memories while the 11 Drypoints (all from 1999) brings her obsessions into more vivid focus.

Meanwhile, the collaborative exhibition, Not Yet Dead Nearly features the work of artists Ruth Calland, Jessica Perry and Jonathan Waller. It conveys the aftermath of war and the scars, both emotional and physical, left behind on the soldiers and families involved.

The art centre's director Liz Falconbridge said: 'We are excited to be showcasing these three unique and captivating exhibitions.'

Each exhibition is free and runs from today to Saturday, January 28.
