Introducing...Keith Maiden

Meet exciting new artist Keith Maiden.

Keith has spent two years developing a self taught unique style and technique through close observation of the human form and face. Keith's reputation is starting to grow with interest from galleries and collectors. His powerful portraits and depictions of the female form in clean and assured lines of acrylic, ink and graphite and the rawness of the finished work is part of the appeal.

My art is very raw, rugged and honest. 
Keith Maiden

Keith's technical ability and a natural sensitivity shows in all of his work, effortlessly creating depth, feeling and emotion above and beyond the surface.

Introducing...Nic Joly

Meet exciting new artist Nic Joly. 

With a background in furniture building and design Nic began creating miniature toys as a hobby to entertain his children. This has now developed into a full time job as Nic sculpts miniature figurines frozen in small-scale narratives, showcasing his dark sense of humor. 

I see my sculptures as pieces of theatre to get lost in, framed feelings, thoughts, imaginings, and observations. 
Nic Joly

The figures Nic creates are hand made using wire, thread, clay, paper and paint. They are then placed into a scene often incorporating everyday objects, be it a hollowed out light bulb, a cigarette or a gun. 

The three dimensional editions created for this collection were created by using the lost wax process to cast the figures in bronze from an original, then painted. Then are then framed personally by Nic himself. Nic has been in complete control of these three dimensional editions, making them truly special.

Meet The Artist - Bob Barker

We are excited to announce that Bob Barker will be making an appearance in the gallery on Saturday 26th October between 1-4pm

Bob will be making himself available to chat and personally dedicate his brand new collection of limited edition and original artwork entitled Jumpers For Goalposts. We are hoping that Bob will also be doing a live painting whilst in the gallery which would be a fantastic opportunity to see him in action! 

Jumpers For Goalposts, Bob Barker

Bob's art resonates with a great many of us, as he adeptly manages to convey the innocence of childhood through to the joie de vivre of adulthood. This collection is no exception; themed around Britain’s most popular sport, Barker takes us on a nostalgic journey beginning in the cobbled streets where children stage their very own Cup Finals each night after school.
