Earlier Exhibition ‘Not Just Trees’ 17 Feb to 27 March

A Show highlighting the latest work of The Bingley gallery’s resident artist and owner, David Starley. All his works are original oils on canvas in David’d typical impasto, painting knife-applied style. For want of more imagination he’s titleded it ‘Not Just Trees’. New views include large works of Malham Cove and Sharp Haw and a smaller one of Cowling Pinnacle Plus several of Saltaire and Bingley….Oh and some trees..

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.

Bev Parker

As a graduate of fine art, living on an upland sheep farm it is hardly surprising that Bev’s watercolours feature the Dales landscapes. Her work at the Bingley gallery, more specifically, celebrates the breeds of sheep that have long been associated with our region’s uplands, with lovingly portrayed heads – often based on champion stock primped for their appearance at local agricultural shows.

Samantha Yates ‘Lil’Rabitfoot’

Based in Shipley, Samantha exhibits under the pseudonym Lil’ Rabbitfoot. Although her background includes degrees in environmental science and civil engineering, she now balances art with teaching horticulture. Coloured glass and copper foil are used to explore botanical forms, patterns & structures; playfully pushing the limitations of the materials and techniques. The glass flowers and foliage that she creates are rich in individual character, revealing Samantha’s appreciation of the natural environment, the simple beauty of nature and the happiness it can bring. .
