Blog Week 2

2019 is well and truly underway with our annual art sale in full swing.  The sale includes original paintings, limited edition prints and sculpture from some of our leading artists and even includes pieces that have never been on show!

The sale finishes this Sunday (13th January) so do call in over the weekend if you would like to take the opportunity and grab a bargain.

Dream Team from Doug Hyde

Doug Hyde has kicked off the 2019 launch season with his latest limited edition print, Dream Team. Following on from his quirky superheroes collection, the gang is all together in this fantastic limited print.

Dream Team is available as a standard limited edition from an edition of 295 or from a Remarque edition of only 95.  With a slightly larger overall framed size, each of the special edition Remarqued editions include a small original sketch in the margin by Doug, all unique to the individual piece.  Click here now for full details and availability and please note that availability is strictly limited, particularly on the Remarque.

Frogman EsCargo

The first release from the Frogman Tim Cotterill of 2019 has also been launched this week and is an amazing departure from the norm.  EsCargo is an amazing solid bronze snail with silver shell offering a ride to the cheeky cherry red frog.

From a low edition of only 350 worldwide, we are sure that EsCargo will not be heading out of the gallery at a snails pace so click here now to pre order or call in the gallery over the next couple of weeks when EsCargo will be arriving soon.

New from John Horsewell

Those with good memories will remember the gallery offering John Horsewell’s paintings when we first started the gallery over ten years ago and we are delighted to have acquired new works after a long absence.

The new paintings offer great value for superb quality original works and we hope you like them as much as we do.  Three original paintings are on show in the gallery now with full details also available by clicking on our John Horsewell gallery here.

James Lawrence Isherwood New Works Coming Soon

Isherwood’s paintings continued to be a big favourite with our collectors in 2018 with paintings snapped up by collectors as far afield as Amsterdam and Jersey in recent weeks.

With increased demand in recent years and the inevitable scarcity of work from a deceased artist, it is tough to source new paintings.  We have been working hard however or recent months and will be unveiling a collection of new works towards the end of January.  Do keep your eye on the website and your emails for notification of these new paintings as soon as they are available.

2019 Exhibitions

We have an exciting year ahead of exhibitions and artist appearances with international art stars joining us again to meet you and showcase their works.

Along with some of our regular artist visitors, we are hoping to add a high profile debutant exhibitor in the Summer, news of which will hopefully follow soon.

The provisional dates for the diary are below so do make sure that you diarise these brilliant exhibitions so that we can give these international artists a great Lancashire welcome.

In addition to these appearances, we will also be showcasing new collections from other leading artists throughout the year kicking off with a new Manchester from afar collection from Michael Ashcroft in March.  Further details and dates to follow shortly.

Thank you all for your continued support of our independent local gallery and may we wish you all a happy and healthy new year.
