A new face to our galler yAndrew grew up in Eldwick and Cullingworth attending Bingley Granmar school and Bradford college to study art before moving to East Yorkshire. His paintings reflect northern life, often nostalgic with a twist of humour and a subtle nod to the bantams<\/p>\n

\nMatthew Duckett
Born in Leeds in 1966 Mathew lived in Ilkley on and off from 1976 to 2000. He studied at Bradford College and then at Central St Martins in London and taught at Leeds College of Art for twenty-five years. He currently lives in Baildon.
The majority of his work are abstracted recollection of intimately known local landscapes, but these images differ. They are rooted more firmly in a tangible reality but are more distant in that they are based on photographs of distant places, long ago. Any clues to their context have been removed. I make no claim to \u2018ownership\u2019 and apologise to anyone who might recognise a connection to a time, a place, or an event, though as some might guess, movies are sometimes referred to.<\/p>\n

Richard Smith \u2013 textile design-related artefacts<\/strong><\/p>\n After his family\u2019s three generations in Bradford\u2019s textile design and weaving business, Richard turned to archiving the surviving artefacts of the design process.\u00a0 In a further step he has prepared a range of these artefacts into framed wall art. Whether original artwork, or the \u2018point papers\u2019 which transformed the design into a pixelated matrix before the punching of the cards used by Jacquard looms, the marks and annotations of past generations of textile workers emphasise their input. The designs are also redolent of their period, from the bold, strikingly coloured fabrics of the 1970s, to more classical weaves of earlier years.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”RS Gallery” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ gallery_ids=”8861,8862,8863,8864,8865″ posts_number=”20″ hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”IT Text” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]<\/p>\n Ian Tothill \u2013 Mixed Media and collage <\/strong><\/p>\n Ian spent much of his working life helping children develop their creativity and self expression. During lockdown in 2020 he started his own art practice, making collages for a zine being compiled by his daughter. He found a thriving friendly online community of collage artists who share ideas, challenges, materials and encouragement. His work has now been accepted for exhibitions around the world, held solo shows locally and published.. \u00a0The South Square Collage Club, which he founded in 2021, meets monthly, is open to all , from complete beginners to art college lecturers.<\/p>\n There\u2019s quite a story behind most of his work \u2018Tumbling Hill\u2019 is a collage made in response to the theme of his audio visual performance project \u2018Beck\u2019 by Ian\u2019s audio visual duo Latterhand. He describes the inspiration \u201cThere\u2019s a car wash on Thornton Road near the city centre where Bradford Beck briefly appears above ground. The owner was interested in the music within the film project and told us about his ambitions to study playing the oud as a boy. He didn\u2019t get the grades for college so trained to be an accountant instead, now his days are spent running a hand car wash. The collage picks up the colours and shapes of the site and includes a bit of the fence which had fallen off.<\/p>\n \u2018Believe\u2019 is the word found on a piece of discarded paper.

The front exhibition space in the gallery may have as many as 20 artists work on show. There is always a little uncertainty as to what turns up on installation day, but an eclectic mix can be expected, with no themes, no tonal co-ordination- and a huge range of media- a true Christmas Variety Show, with something to suit all tastes. With concerns over the global supply chain in the run up to Christmas, it is good to know that locally produced goods are still available, with the additional benefits of minimal, transport-related, carbon emissions, support for local producers, and the survival of independent retailers. The Bingley Gallery, has been based on Park Road, Bingley for the past 15 years, originally under the ownership of Jane Fielder and more recently by David Starley.
