CAMBRIDGE GALLERIES SUMMER EXHIBITIONS
Sunny scenes abound in Byard Art’s Mixed Summer Exhibition , which runs till 4 September. From calming cobalt and electric aquamarine ceramics by Carolyn Tripp, to verdant scenes of orangeries, lakes and riverboats by Jamie Poole, there’s plenty to evoke a hot, heady atmosphere. While you’re there, don’t miss the astonishingly crisp brushwork of CJ Green, whose photorealistic paintings extract clarity and beauty from mundane household items. For those inspired by the plein-air paintings of the Fitzwilliam’s True to Nature showcase, Cambridge Contemporary Art has a selection of stunning landscapes, from coastal dunes to rolling countryside. Find work by Alice Thomson, whose colourful and spontaneous style gives a fresh perspective to some familiar Cambridge scenery. The display is also available until 4 September.

THE HIGGINS BEDFORD Body & Soul
Gathering works from Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Body & Soul explores female representation in art over the past two centuries, through the eyes of artists like Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch, Dora Carrington, Lucian Freud and more. With a range of media, from sculptures to watercolours, the works highlight how women have been portrayed as both objects of desire and creatives in their own right. Depictions of women by male and female artists are placed in juxtaposition, revealing fascinating contrasts. Free to visit at The Higgins Bedford, ending 2 October.
