Authorities Plan to Save Derelict Van Gogh House

A house in the Boriange where Vincent Van Gogh once lodged has fallen into disrepair and local authorities are making a bid to save it.  The plan is for a complete restoration opening up the house to visitors from 2015.

The Art Newspaper‘ reported that the municipality of Colfontaine has begun proceeding to compulsory purchase the property that Van Gogh lived in around 1878/1879 when he lived in abject poverty.  The house overlooks the Marcasse Colliery where Van Gogh reportedly spent six hours under ground with a miner, writing back to his brother that it was a “sombre place, and at first sight everything around it has something dismal and deathly about it.”

Original Paintings by Peter Wileman ROI

This week has seen the arrival of three original oil paintings by wonderful artist Peter WilemanPeter Wileman is the President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters along with being an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Peter Wileman Original Oil Painting

Winter Sunset by Peter Wileman – Original Oil on Canvas

Peter Wileman’s great talent is painting light in his bold and vigorous style which has made his original paintings sought after and collected across the globe.

Born in 1946 in Middlesex, Peter Wileman’s first job was as a studio junior for a card company, where his innate artistic talent was recognised. Here he spent five years studying lettering and design – his first artistic training – which gave him a solid grounding in colour awareness and formal structure. Peter then moved on to become art editor on a number of magazines, until finally he tired of the rat-race and set himself up as a freelance illustrator.

Wileman’s years of experience stood him in good stead and working freelance gave Peter the opportunity to concentrate on his painting, and he has produced a substantial body of highly expressive work inspired by Britain’s coves and harbours. His large-scale compositions have a painterly quality derived from the apparent vigour of the brushstrokes and the impression of spontaneous creativity, which make them both dramatic and uplifting. Peter’s work has been recognised with various awards including the Frank Herring award at the Mall Galleries in London and the Cornellisen Prize for Outstanding Work 2002.

Introducing Artist Craig Alan

Marilyn Monroe Original Painting Art ArtistNew in the gallery this week is the work of Californian artist Craig Alan. Rarely do we see artwork that is so unique and striking as Craig Alan’s amazing compositions, cleverly mixing the tiny characterful figures to create wonderful striking images.

Craig Alan was born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California and has always been attracted to the artistic side of life.  Craig Alan’s earliest experimentation was street portraiture, helping him perfect his flair for replicating the human figure and afforded the budding artist a sense of economic autonomy.

Craig’s collections run the gamut from abstract expressionism to haunting, graphic realism, each one a reflection of its Craig’s unique vision.

Having exhibited widely across the United States, 2012 sees the launch of his career in the UK with a major distribution deal with the UK’s major publishing and art group, Demontfort Fine Art.  We look forward to watching Craig Alan’s career blossom and are thrilled that our collectors will be some of the first in the UK to enjoy and own his work.

Steve Johnston Original Paintings

Three new Steve Johnston original paintings have arrived in stock at the gallery this week and have been priced to sell!!

Timmy Mallett Paints Preston

Fresh from his recent to visit to Preston in November when Timmy Mallett painted a Piano for charity at Preston Train Station, we are delighted to have just received a new original Mallett painting from this trip.

Hopefully those who know Preston will recognise the scene!

Artist Timmy Mallett says of the painting: “This long row of phoneboxes at night caught my eye one wet evening.  Not only are they a stunning row of red phoneboxes glistening in the street light and reflecting in the wet pavement.  It was the figure on her own intent on her phone call outside the box!  She looked as if she was sheltering from the drizzle too!”

This new Timmy Mallett original painting is now stock at the gallery if you would like to come along and take a look!

“Millar now more Monet than Lowry”

Having just completed another successful exhibition in the North of England, art critic Sue Steward of the London Evening Standard has reviewed Alexander Millar‘s latest collection:

“I never imagined that Alexander would abandon the ‘gadgies’ as the main characters in his evocative paintings”.

“And with these surprisingly different new works, he hasn’t. What we see has happened is his dramatic transformation as an artist: the change of palette and colour tones, the materials and techniques involved are one thing, but more obvious is his positioning of these treasured subjects and the role they play in these industrial scenes”.

“With this new approach comes a change of mood but the results are just as atmospheric and familiar because they are set in the same streets, amongst some of the same smoking chimneys, rows of terraced houses and even the dwarfing viaduct from previous paintings. “In Your Shadow” which has the feel of early Bill Brandt photographs taken in the North of England, with the cobbled alley, washing hanging above the heads of two boys kicking a ball and the anonymous gadgie pushing his bike home. Unlike other gadgies in this new work, Alexander paints him as before – with back to the view, anonymous and archetypal”.

“But in this new work, the familiar sight of the men in the gadgie caps struggling home on their bike or with friends holding them up after a night in the pub, are now part of the bigger picture, the overall scene – put into the context of their lives. “Hobnailed Boots on Cobbled Streets” doesn’t actually feature the boots but the crowds of men who’ve just clocked out, crammed together in the excitement of leaving work, fags hanging off lips, we can hear the noise of those boots and the chatter of the miners”.
