A giant velour pasty and a portrait made of postage stamps are among the quirky artworks in a new exhibition.

The exhibition, titled Work & Play, is being held at The Winchester Gallery, at Winchester School of Art.

It features a range of unique pieces, including a dining table where your face becomes the dinner plate.

The exhibition also includes items on loan from Southampton City Art Gallery, including works by Turner Prize winner Gillian Wearing and Turner Prize nominee Gillian Ayres.

The exhibition is the result of the first open call for art applications by the University of Southampton-owned gallery.

It features 26 works by University of Southampton students and staff, and members of the local community, chosen from 75 applications.

Students on the contemporary curating and fine art courses at Winchester School of Art collaborated on the exhibition.

They worked with Trinity Art Group in Winchester to design aprons, the "uniform of work and play," which visitors can wear while they view the exhibition.

One of the standout pieces is a huge pasty made of gold velour stuffed with recycled magazine pages, created by local artist Mel Ffitch-Mitchell, from Totton.

Another is a portrait of a busker made of used postage stamps, by amateur artist Caroline Haines from Chandler’s Ford.

Caroline, 62, took up art when she retired three years ago.

She said: "In lockdown, I bought two bags of used postage stamps from a charity shop.

"I found it very therapeutic sorting them, saying I will do something with them one day."

Julia Vogl, lecturer and fellow in printmaking at Winchester School of Art, curated the exhibition.

She said: "It’s a fantastic opportunity for our students to be showing their work alongside that of renowned professional artists."

Work & Play is on at the gallery at Winchester School of Art, Park Avenue, until Saturday, May 24, and admission is free.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 12pm to 6pm and Saturday from 12pm to 4pm.

It will be closed for Easter from April 17 to 22.
