Alex Rubens owner of Contemporary Six curates an exhibition celebrating the atmospheric and mesmerizing beauty of our harsh northern landscape. Silver grey skies over a beauty of remote and aloof splendour are depicted using very different techniques; Louise Jannetta’s highly unique collagraph plates have a stark metallic romance, whilst photography, pastels and oils are the means of expression by the artists John Eastwood, Sandra Orme and Matthew Bourne.

Summer 2014

Gearing up for Summer. I have got some fantastic opportunities this year.
I start with an exhibition at Contemporary Six in Manchester 7th May -21st May.     
Meanwhile Vermilion Gallery in Knutsford have asked me to supply work for a large space in their new gallery in Knutsford. That will be an impressive gallery space, one of the largest in Britain. 
Then in June I will be hosted by both Opus Gallery and St Johns Street Gallery in Ashbourne for the Ashbourne Festival, a very welcome boost and a lovely vote of confidence.   
The Great Dome Fair in July
And lastly a one man show at the new Vermilion Gallery in October 
Also I forgot, in the middle of all this both Contemporary Six and Gallery 23 in Stalybridge want to take my work to the Buy Art Fair in Manchester in September. Better get producing.
A lot of work but nicely spaced so I should be able to cope so long as no one gets ill. And what a nice problem to have.



I have completed a large oil painting which I hope to show at the exhibition; Looking North- Revealed landscapes of the North West  at Contemporary Six 7th to 21st May. This is a large textured oil painting and a 2D reproduction doesn't do it justice. You will have to come and see the real thing. It was a joy to paint, once it got going. Once all the depths have been painted in, the darks and the singing shadows, I drag bright yellow across the painting to bring in the light and it is then that the painting suddenly comes alive. I am very proud of this one and I hope you can see something of it here.

2013

I have had a wonderful 2013, with fantastic support from clients and galleries for which I am very, very, grateful.  I am going into 2014 having had fantastic sales and response to the work in galleries and a few commissions to keep me busy in January and February.

I have had continued support from Opus Gallery in Ashbourne, www.opusgalleryashbourne.com, and a lovely stream of Christmas sales at Contemporary Six in Manchester, www.contemporarysix.co.uk. And on my birthday in November Vermilian Gallery in Knutsford, www.vermiliongallery.co.uk, took my work and used the work for the Christmas window display. The owners of Vermilian Gallery have been tremendously encouraging and enthusiastic about the work.  It has been lovely to have had this encouragement for the past year and I hope 2014 brings continued success. I am really looking forward to 2014.

Summer 2013


Gearing up for summer there are so many shows and events to do.

I have just stood the Art Market in Holmfirth a very good quality artist and designers fair with a stringent application process. This means that there are some very high quality designers showing and some wonderful creations on sale. http://theartsmarket.blogspot.co.uk/

Whilst I was in Holmfirth I put the two paintings that had been accepted into the Macmillan Trust Art Show in the Civic Hall in Holmfirth. http://www.holmfirthartweek.org.uk/history/macmillan-support. The show looked like it was going to be very lively, full to the brim of interesting paintings. It should be good and I would recommend it.

Next there is the fantastic Peak District Artisan’s 6th Annual Great Dome Fair. This is held at the Dome in Buxton Derbyshire and this year host 62 artists and designers. It is a lovely venue with a good atmosphere and vibe. So I hope you are able to attend on the preview evening on the 19th July, see http://www.peakdistrictartisans.co.uk/2013/06/16/6th-annual-great-dome-art-fair-get-your-preview-invitation-now/. There will be live music and lots to see.

Hello Everyone


I have been incredibly busy and have not found any time to pass on all the news, so I will get it all done in one go now as it looks like things will run away with me again.

I have loads of really good news.

I was lucky enough to have Wendy Levy from the Wendy J. Levy Gallery in Didsbury, Manchester come and visit the studio.  Wendy kindly asked me to submit three pieces for her Summer Open Exhibition and has very kindly accepted the three pieces for the show. So this Summer I will be showing at The Wendy J Levy Contemporary Art Gallery.  http://www.wendyjlevy.com/
 
 

My work has also been accepted by Opus Gallery in Ashbourne.  The owner, Catherine Caffrey, said that she has not had such a good response to new work for a very long time and has sold a number of pieces of work, http://www.opusgalleryashbourne.com.
 

I have also been taken on by Cloud Gallery in Chester and also in Brighton. http://www.cloudgalleryfineart.co.uk

And lastly I have been selected for Art in the Pen 2013 in Skipton. I am really looking forward to this event, which has developed a very good reputation and hosts some very good artists and some wonderful art. I have booked my little hotel and although I know that it will be work I am sure that this will be a real pleasure as well, http://www.artinthepen.org.uk.
