Vibrant and uplifting, DOUG HYDE'S new collection of limited editions gives us his heart-warming take on the idea of escaping on holiday. His work is always very collectable and it has a lovely sentiment to it. Doug says:

"I hope people can feel a connection with my work, and share the positive emotions behind it! I am passionate about my work and commit everything to it. I hope that those who buy my work feel the same emotion for it that I do; I hope they love it!"

Another popular artist in the gallery is GARY WALTON with his quirky two-dimensional artwork with an intriguing air of fantasy combined with a twist of reality. These fun Limited Editions start at £170 framed so they are a great price to get some lovely work from an established artist.

May 2022

With lots of new artwork arriving in the gallery at the moment we would like to share with you some of our favourite pieces.....

Firstly we are very excited to announce the long awaited release of JACK VETTRIANO'S 'The Billy Boys'. This is one of Vettriano's most famous paintings depicting four men dressed in suits walking along a beach at sunset. The composition was inspired by a poster designed for Quentin Tarantino's 1992 American film 'Reservoir Dogs'. The title of the piece however ties in with Vettriano's Scottish roots as 'Billy Boys' is a loyalist song from Glasgow that originated in the 1920s and is often associated with the long-running religious divide between Protestants and Catholics in the city. A Limited Edition of 275 with 30 A/Ps. We can supply framed £645 or mounted only £495. Release date is 20th May 2022 so get in touch if you would like to secure one as we are sure this will be a sell out....

Stephen graduated from the prestigious college of Art and Design at Central Saint Martins in London in 2003, and now lives and works in his home country of South Africa. Over the last decade, his works have become highly sought after collector's pieces. His Limited Editions enhanced with his use of diamond dust to add sparkle and clarity are eye catching and thought provoking.

New artist to the gallery KATIE DAY draws on her inspiration from landscapes and the beautiful colours she sees in everyday nature and the world around us to create these beautiful originals. Using alcohol inks and acrylics and she is enjoying the potential of these wonderful mixed media. With the fluidity and vibrancy as well as the unexpected spontaneity, the results in these bright coloured and dye-based paints can produce amazing textures and unique effects drawing the viewer into her world. We were all struck by them the first time we saw her work and hope you like them as well?

Also new to the gallery is KARA STRACHAN. Kara's distinctive style and subject are inspired from her many years of floristry running her own successful business in London. Her love of the coast, woodlands and flowers is beautifully represented through her bold atmospheric paintings which would add a lovely spring feel to your home.

Always a favourite of ours is ROZANNE BELL. As you know bright colours, metallics and texture are a signature of Roz's. From stunning flowers and meadows to seaside harbours, her style and colourful personality shines from them all. We feel they are the perfect artwork for this time of year with spring in the air and would make the perfect Mother's Day gift.

There is also 'War Is Over' a John Lennon tribute and 'Platinum Queen'. 'Shine On' is one of those pieces where the more you look the more you see, perfect for music lovers to reminisce about the Madchester music scene. Or for an entirely different musical genre Kylie is looking stunning in 'Better The Devil You Know'. Let us know which is your favourite!

"For me, art is fun. I only have one objective, to try and engage the audience for a reaction, good or bad. I love what I do, you can never take it too seriously, its not life or death. At the end of the day, its just fun."
