A mixed show featuring our resident artists and some of our favourite other exhibitors.
The listing below is by no means all the work on display in the Exhibition  room, let alone elsewhere in the building and we highly reccomend a visit.  However, for anyone concerned over maintaining social distance, do email or call us so that we can find a way of letting you see the works pior to deciding whether to purchase.

Jane Fielder

Jane is the previous owner of the gallery and continues to have a significance presence here. Probably Bingley’s best known artist, her quirky local scenes are full of interest and often raise a smile, although her repertoire is far more extensive.

L. Amy Charlesworth

Amy is a Bradford born painter who has worked and exhibited her hyperrealist paintings in Bingley, for many years, building up a reputation as a distinctive and original artist.

Suzanne McQuade  

Suzanne’s art is Inspired by the beautiful and diverse coast and countryside of our region, in particular, those places where she experiences peace and tranquility. Her aim is to convey these emotions to the viewer through her painting; allowing them, to take a moment to explore the scene and gain the feeling of space which she has experienced. Suzanne is a watercolour painter in the classic tradition, but despite her many years’ experience still has respect for what she describes as ‘a tricky medium’. The process starts with washes of paint on wet paper which allow the paint to move and merge – it’s unpredictability can be frustrating at times, but serendipitously rewarding at others – allowing light to shine through the translucent elements of the paint. As the work progresses, the artist gains more control, building up the intensity of colour before finally painting in the fine details.

Josie Barraclough

Scarborough born Josie, attended Batley Art College followed by Huddersfield and Leeds Universities before pursuing a full-time career in illustration and graphic design. Her art was further developed during extensive travelling and working overseas including Australia and the Far East.  Josie who is influenced and energised by light and colour creates pieces that are a direct response to her surroundings. Inspired by experiences whilst travelling her subject work draws mainly on naturalistic elements landscapes, botanical and still life – finding that it’s often a tiny item of information which spurs a series of paintings.

Her work has developed in an expressive style in a variety of media – predominantly oil on canvas and is powerful both in subject matter and colour. Her latest work reflects familiar natural themes, recognisable form, colour and texture. Josie Barraclough paints mainly at her West Yorkshire studio and teaches art.

Andrew Tomlinson
