Stuart Hirst 1950 –

Bradford born artist who followed a foundation course at Bradford College of Art with a degree in Fine Art from Exeter University. Perhaps best known for his wet streets series which typify the Victorian architecture of the district with its York stone flags and setts. From the 1990s Hirst explored other subject matter, particularly more surreal urban fantasies. In recent years he has moved to Scarborough where he runs the Dorothy Rowan Gallery.
