Don’t we all like the seaside? The changing vista as the tide ebbs and flows, the light sparkling on the water, nostalgic memories of childhood holidays, sun and fresh air followed by a fish and chip supper or even the exhilaration of an onshore gale with the waves crashing against the shore. It is easy to picture all the scenarios and it’s no surprise that artists are also drawn to the coast. This show is a celibration of our East Coast from Humberside to Spurn Head seen though the eyes of artists from our reion; particularly Tony Dexter and Suzanne McQuade, but also with a springling of our more regular artists..
Don’t miss our Launch on saturday 21 May 6-9pm
Tony Dexter
Ilkley-based Tony is in danger of stealing the show with his visually striking acrylics. Many feature boats, in particular the famous cobles of the region, but viewed up so close as to convert the figurative to abstract and produce entirely contemporary paintings.

Suzanne McQuade
Suzanne is a watercolor painter in the classic tradition who aims to capture the peace and tranquility of favorite locations, and to convey these emotions to the viewer. Suzanne admits that the medium of watercolour is a tricky one; its unpredictability can be frustrating at times, but serendipitously rewarding at others – allowing light to shine through the translucent elements of the paint.

Jeremy Taylor
Ok so We’ve just had an exhibition based on the paintings of Jeremy and his students, but there were a few that fittedn the theme and were held over. A feature of some of his newer works are abstracted margins within the painting, which reflect the amount of time spent looking through windows, at screens and photos during Lockdown.

Alison Deegan
With a day job in archaeological air-photo interpretation, it’s hard to imagine how Alison Deegan finds the time to produce such a wide range of exquisite lino-cuts. This exhibition presents a selection of her coastally-inspired work, particularly of seabirds, all beautifully observed.

Kate Lycett
Based in Hebden Bridge, Kate is undoubtedly the best known of the artists in the Exhibition and the show includes her limited edition prints. Kate’s background in textile design, leads to a distinctive feature of her work: fabric patterns painted into the landscapes then gold leaf and gold thread applied to the print itself. As the artist stresses ‘I want to paint beautiful pictures of the places that I love’ and her affection for our East Coast comes through strongly.

Josie Barraclough
Josie was actually born on the coast at Scarborough but her life as a painter, illustrator and teacher has taken her far afield and she’s now based in West Yorkshire. Using oil paint on a collage of printed clippings, her work literally incorporates layers of meaning but her work remains fresh and appealing.

Ian Burdell
Ian was a late addition to the line-up, but someone the Gallery had been trying to attract for many years. With limited space we may have little more than a browser’s worth but they promise a grittier representation on the coast. Ian paints in oils concentrating on working and post-industrial settings. This includes lost and broken objects, places and people. His aim is to reflect their former worth, dignity and purpose in a changed environment.

Nettleton Pottery
Porcelain bowls from Laura McNicholas’ Nettleton Pottery are like no other ceramics we’ve ever seen. Shell-inspired forms have smooth, glossy, deeply- glazed interiors resonant of the rockpools of her childhood. Further family history is embodied in the impressing into the outer surfaces historic textiles that have been handed down through five generations of Laura’s family.

Dianne Cross
Dianne is a Riddlesden-based artist who aims to make hand-built ceramics which evoke a feeling of the sea shore and coastline. Imagined seascapes/marine landscapes encourage the viewer to see their own ‘picture’ rather than illustrating a specific view. Boxes, vases, wall pieces and vessel forms feature washes of cobalt and copper with occasional ‘pops’ of yellow over a matt white glaze.
